Lots of extra features such as central locking and electric windows.

Often when trying to accelerate up hill the automatic gears do not engage properly and this results in the engine over revving.

I have had this same car from new (10years),and in 55 years of driving is by far the most reliable and easy to drive; nothing has ever gone wrong with it, I left it once in a wet and freezing shed in Jan. and Feb. for two months while I was in the middle east, and it started first time as always. I am even still on the original battery!!! I average 32 mpg, as I mostly do short trips.
