Economy
Value
Good if you get a good price, but resale prices reflect this.
Costs
Not bad on petrol and services, but VERY expensive on tyres. Had to change both front tyres at 13,000 miles, completely asymmetrical wear so tracking had to be adjusted as well. French web-sites are full of owners with same problem, the job is £350.

Reliability
Have owned for 18 months, the car knows its own way to the shop and I know their phone number by heart. On the bright side, everything that could have failed has done so.
