Reliability
Has never failed to start and has never broken down.
Image
Old fashined now, but if you're not image conscious or want to keep costs to a minimum, this is the car for you.
Comfort
Seats could be better padded; uncomfortable on long journeys.

No comments on service - all done by myself.
