Rates high compared to similar cars.

Living with it
Reliability
No major faults so far. Uses oil, fuses blow for no reason? Other than that, top marks.
Image
It's up to personal choice, but at least I can tell which is my car in the car park, not like today's array of clones, where you have to check the reg to see if it's yours.
Comfort
Rides well on my own and full with family plus kitchen sink.
