    Reliability

    Ok, I have killed it now and it needs to go (108,000 miles) possibly due to neglect and not the car.

    Ugly. Maybe it looked good when it was new.

    Comfort

    Ok, even my dog is cramped in the back.

    Still got it, but I think that is due to its looks, not the security.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never been to the dealer. They didn't even know the tyre size on the phone.
