Economy
Value
If bought from new, the price has dropped drasticaly, where as if bought second hand could be a good thing.
Costs
I do a lot of driving around town and mine averages about 22mpg or so the trip information tells me that, on the motorway doing long distance driving it can be fairly good.

Living with it
Reliability
My car was registered september 2002 and I have already had to call the AA out 4 times and four of those times the car had to be sent back to the dealer. The first time the selespeed pump had to be replaced and the other 3 times were electrical faults.
Image
I had the 17" alloy wheel upgrade which make the car look far better.
Comfort
Very comfortable, no matter how big or tall you are you will always find a comfortable driving position and the big armrest and selespeed gear change make it a lazy man's car.

Security and Service
Security
I don't really know much about the security but I've had no problems so far, touch wood.
Service
When I have to have something replaced under warranty it seems to take 3 weeks to get it booked in but if your paying for something i.e. service it seems to be the next day.
