Comfortable seats and reasonably roomy interior (for the type of car).

Security and Service
Security
Alarm/Immobiliser seem to do the trick.
Service
Stupidly expensive to have any work done - go to one of the many MGF specialists around the country. Generally cheaper and they know more about what they're doing.
