Living with it
Reliability
Much better than I thought - had problems with steering, but nothing else.
Image
Nice shape. Trendy but not lavish.
Comfort
Very good seats. More room than the competition.

Security and Service
Security
Not great. The AA man took 20 secs to get in when I locked my keys inside. Buy an alarm. Immobiliser is standard.
Service
Very poor indeed - not only from local dealer (Northgate in Canterbury), but also poor from Fiat UK.
