Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not bad, though a bit poorly equipped.
Costs
Costs a fortune on petrol - don"t know where they get the mpg from. I get about 28 mpg from it which is poor.

On the road
Driving
Great to drive. Quiet engine, until you get above 60! Steering is responsive and gives good feedback; easy to get understeer out of it.
Performance
Acceleration is very poor - you really have to gun it if you don"t want to be overtaken by pedestrians!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable, and mine is touching 90,000 miles. Head gasket did go but was covered by warranty.
Image
Classy looking car. Five-door models look OK but the three-door is very smart looking.
Comfort
Not bad. Dashboard is very attractive and well laid out. Very nice ride.

Security and Service
Security
Mine has an immobiliser but that's it. Don"t lose the maroon coloured key - it's vital for resetting the computer systems and it will cost about £500 to sort out if it goes missing.
