Cost next to nothing for looks that don't age.
Costs
Dealer parts seem reasonable, aftermarket spares are plentiful.

On the road
Driving
The car can be a bit uninvolving, but it corners very well.
Performance
170-ish BHP as standard. Wants to go fast. Gearbox can get a bit confused between 3rd and 4th at high speed.

Living with it
Reliability
170k miles of unbreakable transport. Always starts straight away, aircon still works perfectly.
Image
Sexy looking car in the estate version. More practical, too. I have had a front door, fridge freezer and bed in the back at different points.
Comfort
Very good on long runs.
-
Security and Service
Security
No alarm as standard, but seems good otherwise.
Service
Very polite. Recognised a dealer mistake and rectified at parts only prices, loan car available.
