Living with it
Reliability
Excellent, but recommend servicing correctly. Not tightning the lower pulley correctly after cambelt change will result in damaged crankshaft, had to replace mine and is a big job. Listen for a knocking sound from front of engine.
Image
Gets a bad press, ignore it! Most comments I had were positive.
Comfort
Cloth seats are great, even after long journey. Haven't tried the leather ones.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm/immoboliser as standard. Keys not hi-tech.
Service
Don't expect any technical advice from manufacturer or their outlets! Use other owners on the Internet. Worst tech advice I've ever experienced.
