Living with it
Reliability
Head-gasket gone, radiator, alternator, exhaust, crankshaft sensor, battery, alarm. The lastest doesn't like the wet. Oh and leaks a bit in back passenger well. Doh!
Image
I've only ever seen old men driving it. Need 216GSi or above to get image.
Comfort
Seats very comfortable, good on long journeys. Steering wheel has nice thickness.

Thought security was good until it took AA man five seconds to override it without any key.

Haven't delt with manufacturer directly.
