Driving
Refined, handles very well for size. The Sport mode and Steptronic make this a fun auto to drive.
Performance
Not as quick as the 200SX is replaced, but quick enough.

Living with it
Reliability
No issues so far.
Image
Depends on your point of view, but I personally think it is tasteful and best in subtle dark metallic colour.

Superb - firm and sporty, but very relaxed and comfortable as well.
