Great road holding, lots of grip, feels like a hothatch.

Only 100bhp takes it to 60 in about 10 seconds, OK on motorways, but not masses of torque.

Living with it
Reliability
I've never had any issues with this car other than general wear and tear, it's never failed me, it feels very solid and well built.
Image
I prefer the 3 door tot he 5 door, I've got the ST170 17inch multispoke alloys which suit the car very well.
Comfort
Smooth ride, even when fitted with ST170 alloys and low profile tyres.
