Average, plus it woz round the price I was willing to pay for it.

Good for the year of car and what came with it, not much has gone wrong with it so far.

On the road
Driving
Nice to drive, but feels like it flies at times round corners and roundabout due to suspension, so if this happens get a sport suspension kit.
Performance
Nice and nippy car, topped at 110mph, quick acceleration.

Living with it
Reliability
So far, so good, apart from my starter motor is on its way out but getting a new one, but hey seeing the car is 9 years old these things happen, no biggy with getting it changed as parts are easy to get.
Image
Love the Si bumpers and the shape in general. Looks very nice and different from normal mark 3 models and the XR2i and the RS Turbo which near enough have the same sorta kinda bodykit, but the Si makes it different looking car with its own image.
Comfort
Love the seats in the front so comfy no aches etc... like you get in other cars, nice and relaxing journey everywhere I go, no aches whatsoever.

Security and Service
Security
Average. Got an immobiliser on it and it works very well (as I got my mate to sit in there and I locked it and got her to move and the alarm went off so it's good to know it works fine).
Service
Been happy so far with the service I have received.
