Just tyres and servicing so far at 70k miles. Good on fuel also.

On the road
Driving
Smooth ride. Appalling gearchange, especially 2nd. Expect bodyroll. Would get 4 stars with PAS.
Performance
Surprising acceleration for 1.2 8v and capable of 100mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Check uneven tyre wear. Watch oil levels as warning light untrustworthy.
Image
Is it me or do all modern superminis rip off this design? E.g. back end of new Fiesta?
Comfort
Seats could be better. Masses of space, though.

Easy to break into apparently. Immobiliser supposedly foolproof.

Save money - go to approved specialist.
