Driving
Excellent handling, top end performance, but not enough torque low down and firm ride over rough surfaces.
Performance
Can keep up with most when engine is revved.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing serious, but has been back a few times for minor rattles, all cured now.
Image
Still turns heads and cost as much as a Focus.
Comfort
Very good on long runs with cruise control. Air con is only adequate on a hot day - takes ages to cool down cabin.

Security and Service
Security
Very good.
Service
This is the big let down. I only have two dealers in my area and they are both terrible.
