A decent drive. Tight turning circle very useful in town.
Performance
For a 1.8, it's surprisingly quick. No sportscar, but competent handling. Unfortunately brakes fade too easily.

Living with it
Reliability
Long term electrical issues regarding the engine, diagnostics have cost a lot and revealed nothing!
Image
Unexciting, but then again not an attention seeker.
Comfort
Cabin is very ergonomic, although LX is fairly basic trim.

Deadlocks, alarm and immobiliser, standard issue. Attempted break in 3 times, didn't get in, but did ruin door lock.
