    3 out of 5 3.0

    Parts expensive and ordering was a pain. They didn't know what parts were put on any car at any time.

    It was a poor man's Audi.

    Comfort

    Comfort good, but don't sleep in it.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I never got mine stolen. I've left it open a few times as central locking would not work.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    When ordering anything, they would want OAVL plate number and every other number going, and my inside leg measurement, and they still would not have what they wanted.
