On the road
Driving
For the class it's driving is excellent. Much better than others I've had (Audi A4, Astra, Corolla, Golf).
Performance
For a 1.6 the engine is good. Pulls well and revs keep going up and up (there's no red line for some reason!)

Living with it
Reliability
Cut out doing 80 on motorway once - very scary. Problem never fully explained but something to do with coking.
Image
Very common, but doesn't suffer for it. The motor critics love it.
Comfort
Good comfort generally, but long journeys are a bit of a pain. Could really use a clutch foot rest.

Security and Service
Security
Seems good, but remote locking is very slow.
Service
Average dealer service - Not good, not bad.
