Driving
Excellent to drive on any type of roads. Loads of fun to be had.

Cracking engine, brilliant grip. Will leave cars with much bigger engines for dead. Loads of torque, which makes steep banks effortless!

Living with it
Reliability
Problems with bodywork, passenger door and door seals. Poor build quality, but hey it's French - loads of rattles from dash, doors, etc.
Image
Good. Some boy racers though.
Comfort
Ok if you're average build and 6ft or under! Offset pedals take a while to get used to and they also very close together.

Security and Service
Security
Should come with an alarm. Apparently they are quite easy to get in to, beacause of the door pins?
Service
Ok, but just fixed all minor faults. Did a good job on them, but after 2 months I am still waiting for my handbook!
