Economy
Value
If i had paid MRRP of £17,000 i would be gutted, but i picked up an 04/ 04 with just 4,500 miles for £7,600. The dealer had 4 in stock!
Costs
The wife pays just £50 a year more than the Picasso that we traded in.

On the road
Driving
Lack of up to date technology makes the car much more fun to drive
Performance
One of the most under-rated coupe/ sports hatches ever sold. Put 10,000 miles on the clock and the cars can out run most modern competition.

Living with it
Reliability
Absolutely no problems at all so far, but will use the 3 year warranty if there is anything.
Image
Most will criticise, but i think the last of the cars were exceptionally pretty. Aggressive nose, quality alloys and now the basis for the current WRC championship winning car!
Comfort
Alcantara sports seats, Climate control. Again, hugely under rated. Holds the road very well but leave you comfortable after a couple of hours behind the wheel.

Security and Service
Security
Standard immoboliser and alarm seem to do the job.
Service
Annual service carried out without a hitch.
