Servicing costs aren't to bad unless you use the dealer.

Had the car 2 years now and unless it goes in for a service, I haven't done anything else to it.

On the road
Driving
This car is a driver's car, whether you are on the motorway or on the way to work, it pulls in all gears.
Performance
The power is smooth unless you gun it and rev it hard; the car lurches forward and doesn't leave you waiting for more, corners fantastically because of the lowered and uprated sports suspension, brakes aren't the best but you can upgrade them.

Living with it
Reliability
Touch wood, not one problem yet.
Image
I may be Mondeo man, but when hot hatches pull up they might take the lead, but have not got the power for the uphill run nor to last on the motorway.
Comfort
The sports seats really hold you straight and keeps you in touch with what the car is doing. Can seat 5 adults with comfort.

Security and Service
Security
Touch wood, have never had to use it. The remote key fob does the job by alarming the car with alarm and immobilser.
Service
Only once I used the dealer when I noticed a rust spot on the car and had it done within 2 weeks of my visit to them.
