Great, compared to my old ZX. Rolls a bit, but that's cause suspension needs replacing.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing wrong in 2,500 miles so far (a month).
Image
Ubiquitous, like-it-or-loathe it styling. I think it's neat and fresh, if not sexy.
Comfort
Great seats, better than over firm-Zetec. Smooth ride, excellent space and driving position.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm fitted as an extra. It's still outside, so that's really the best I can say.
Service
Nothing done there.
