Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable - only had to call the AA once! It is kept outside and starts first time even on the coldest of mornings.
Image
Still a nice looking car but has been upstaged by its successor the 25.
Comfort
Reasonably comfortable but you get back aches on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm and immobliser and hasn't been stolen yet!
Service
Not too bad although the classic mistake many dealers make is that their after sales service was quite shoddy.
