Living with it
Reliability
Sometimes fails to start on first turn of the key, but second turn it starts, never broken down.
Image
Not a lot of difference between lesser foci', unless you mod it.
Comfort
Plenty of space, seats are acceptable and everything within easy reach.

Security and Service
Security
Security hasn't been tested (touch wood) so I can't rate this but I have added a disclock as an added deterrant.
Service
Absolute disgrace.
