Excellent equipment as standard for the price.

Not as economical as I'd hoped, but still very good.

On the road
Driving
Great fun to drive - little roll on corners, but the stiffened suspension can give a slightly unforgiving ride.
Performance
Could really have done with a 1.6 engine in here, but it still gets away well and doesn't struggle at high speed, even on inclines.

Living with it
Reliability
Only one fault in 18 months - that was quickly and easily fixed.
Image
Looks great, especially due to the silver dash and trim on the wheel and gearknob.
Comfort
Wonderful seats. A real step up from the 'old' Fiat. Comfortable for runs up the length of the UK. Again, the ride can be hard over uneven surfaces, though.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser fitted, but no alarm. Question what value an alarm is anyway these days though.
