    A lot of them on the road, but hey! better than a Ford!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bucket seats are a must. Everything laid out as you'd expect. But dash squeaks, very annoying on long journeys.

    Fitted own alarm, no attempt of theft in 5 years but police friend told me they're a desirable car by the thieves...
