2nd to this is the poor ventilation (and usually lack of aircon).
The XA/XB has just two vents which blow in ultra hot air and thats about it.
The heater only blows hot air to your feet or demists the windscreen.
The lack of a rear electric demister also means you cant see didly during those cold mornings as everything fogs up.

Then when it rains you hope your 35yr old wiper motor doesnt burn out!
(mine is so slow, even on its highest setting).

Lack of power steering (especially in the V8 models) at slow speeds builds up arm muscles....

If you can learn to deal with these issues... then go for it lol

Personally I wouldnt mind an XD/XE however as a daily driver.

LOL, Luckily mine was optioned with a Rear Demister.
