Driving
The seat needs a better way of ajusting, nice as they are. Could do with another way (you will see if you buy one).
Performance
1.8 16v. Very quick with the right type of tyres it handles fantatsic. Bodykits are cheap and worth every penny.

Living with it
Reliability
I've had 2 accidents in mine and after being repaired (touch wood), it has still got the proformance as if I bought it out the showroom.

With a bit of work you could transform your car, but if you don't its still ok and I would give it a 3 star.
Comfort
Realy good on motorways. Round town is nice too. With the seats the way they go is realy comfy.

Crap realy. Imoblizer is ok, works well. Alarm could do with improvement.
Service
Poor. Had to fight when the gearbox went after a week. It was under warrenty and they said they wouldn't do it (they did in the end).
