Lack of power steering not fun. Good enough on motorways. Shame about the stick-in-a-bucket gearshift.
Performance
Very average round town, better on motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
Didn't have any problems over the first year of second hand ownership. Problems will no doubt surface eventually.
Image
Decidedly average, even with a spoiler on the boot.
Comfort
Seats just about OK. Heavy steering round town.

Security
Very poor. Get a decent alarm or at the very least a steering wheel lock.

Sufficiently good.
