Reliability
Brilliant, which compensates for repair costs, as needed less than rival Fords etc.
Image
Yes it is plain and so not irritated by boy racers, plus easy to repair if attacked by other cars!
Comfort
Heaven with the armrests on front seats and comfy chairs.

Not good enough 'til we added new radio that reminded you to remove it and Thatcham alarm system.
Service
When broken in to, they were slow to replace window glass and only offered 5-seater small car as replacement during repair wait - not good when need 7 seats.
