Overall reliability

Brilliant run around with loads of internal space and low running costs

Love this car. Use it every day to go to work and ferry my daughters around. Eldest has horse and we can get her saddle plus all the other gear in the car with all three of us as well no problem.

Long journeys are quiet and untiring as long as you stick to speeds under 80, over that the ride gets a bit harsh and the wind noise obtrusive.

Reliability is excellent - have now done over 43k miles with only routine servicing and no major expenses. Petrol mileage is around mid 40s dependent upon the type and length of journeys.

Standard stereo and speakers are r****** but easily replaced. In fact the whole car is easy to work on and maintain. Love the movable rear seat which allows us to balance rear leg room with luggage space.

Love the retro looks and the nose down stance - we get loads of looks, compliments and attention. My daughters hate the looks and are embarrassed to be seen getting in and out!

So there you have it a great car that your kids are embarrassed to be seen in/getting out of - me I just love it!
