Bits kept falling off! The external door handle came away in my hand!
Image
A bit 'pipe and slippers', but I liked the chrome, fancy wheels and wood(?) dash/cappings.
Comfort
All right as long as you don't want to travel in the back. OK for midgets and folk with no legs!

Security
Hey... if I couldn't get in when the door handle came off in my hand, what chance has a thief got!!
Service
Dealer (McHargs Glasgow) was very helpful and sympathetic to the problems, although they could do nothing about the oil consumption (3.5 litres in 5 months/5K miles!)
