Living with it
Reliability
Just some little things including the exhuast, brake pads, tyres etc but nothing major. It has never broken down.
Image
Still look fresh and modern, they are full of Italian flair.
Comfort
Poor suspension (its like a Ladas!).

Security and Service
Security
Good on post February 1995 models, includes immobiliser.
Service
Poor, over priced, I don't use them anymore.
