Living with it
Reliability
Engine can give a lot of trouble; misfiring, cold starting problems and blue smoke on high mileage cars.
Image
Was ok in its 80s heyday, but dull looking and dated now.
Comfort
Very comfortable and plenty of space - probably the only category it gets a high rating in.

Security and Service
Security
No modern features apart from steering lock, but who would really want to steal it?

Was ok but could have been better.
