Overall reliability
Endearing little big car
Inherited this as a stop gap but grew to love it. Interior design amd seats great. All seats removable with complete flat floor. Could carry a washing machine or a bike. Seats very comfortable. Heater / de mister warms up in seconds. Can drive it all day on the motorway.
Reliability was pretty good for what was then an 11 year old car. Needed a few ABS sensors and a starter motor. Finally died in 2014 when the ECU failed but I wish I’d kept it as grew oddly attached to the design.
No rust what so ever
