Not good. Mainly electrical gremlins. Also air con and coolant hoses.

Looks like a 1.6, so…
Comfort
Good seats (leather). Ride is crashy, but still the handling is stodgy.

Security
Well protected as standard, but the immobiliser is a bit too eager…

Have found dealers not helpful and a lot of parts are dealer only supply...
