Living with it
Reliability
Very poor. The quickshift gearbox leaves a lot to be desired on reliability. My car has completed 12,000 miles and has had major gearbox faults. The fault lies in the automatic side of the gearbox rather than the manual.
Image
It projects a good image of design, but not reliability.
Comfort
Comfort is reasonable for a small car.
