  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice and nippy car, topped at 110mph, quick acceleration.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    5 out of 5 5.0

    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

    5 out of 5 5.0

    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

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Been happy so far with the service I have received.
