Bought from a main dealer and saved £1000 on asking price. No VAT on new models has kept prices down.

Generally speaking, cheap to run. Fuel economy seems very good.

Great pocket rocket with brilant 0 - 60 zip.

Living with it
Reliability
Many tiny problems including sensors and leaks. The reliability of the alarm has been a joke.
Image
Has a cool image that looks somewhat more macho than the Pug 106 GTi.
Comfort
Hard ride which highlights any squeaks in the somewhat plastic interior.

Security
Has never been broken into, so can't complain.

Other
Clutch going after 60k miles. Almost every break sensor needed changing. Radiator went a month after buying (only 2 years old). Needed a new CAT after 60k miles which I wasn't impressed by.
