Living with it
Reliability
Terrible. Needed the usual engine and gearbox rebuild plus several clutch hydraulic systems before 60k, air con failed, radiator fell apart. Tacky plastic trim fell to pieces. But never left us stranded! Spent over £2000 in the last six months alone.
Image
Belies its appaling build quality.
Comfort
Front seats good but rear seats for small adults or children, too close to floor.
