    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Had it for 3.5 years and no problems yet. I service it myself as it's a easy car to work on for a DIY mechanic like myself. I also had the cam belt changed at 70k (meant to be done at 45k).

    Would like more seat adjustments, and also it would be nice to be able to adjust the height of the steering wheel on this model.
