Economy
Value
Absolutely great value, got it at discount, most people think it costs £50k and some ask if it is an Aston Martin, has all you need except rear luggage cover. May have to watch resale prices though.
Costs
No costs apart from fuel-urban MPG not great-get about 220 miles from tank but about 300-340 on the motorway.

On the road
Driving
Great for cruising, smooth engine/gearbox -test drove manual which was very notchy so bought auto. Although steering and handling a little woolly for high speed A road drives. But still a great drive for 80% of the time. Engine noise and grunt is superb.
Performance
0-60 6.5 seconds goes like the wind in a straight line although can be a little unwieldy in tight corners but still brings a smile to my face.

Living with it
Reliability
Touch wood nothing, although drivers leather seat seems to have worn a bit too much.
Image
See comments above, 99% of the time people are drooling have had about 15 strangers come up to me to say what a great car it is-feel like a celebrity whenever I am driving it because it turns so many heads.
Comfort
Ride is a bit hard and choppy but can live with it because driving it even for a mile is such an occasion.

Security and Service
Security
Thatcham 1 alarm although lack of standard luggage cover poor-because it attracts so much attention you have to be careful where you park- it is like owning any expensive car.
Service
Helpful and efficient.
