Engline sounds good above 3000 rpm and gearshift is good.

Living with it
Reliability
Most disappointing thing with the car, but what do you expect from the French
Image
Car still looks pretty after all these years.
Comfort
Seats are too soft for longer journeys. Also the Steering wheel doesn't adjust high enough for the longer legged driver. Rear seat leg room is non existant, but it is a coupe. On the plus side there is a remote for the radio on the steering column.
