Living with it
Reliability
Average. Front disks replaced at 26K. Oil leak at camsaht seal.
Image
I like the low stated image. The Si looks nothing special but it is and I like that.
Comfort
Front seats only have tilt ajustment and no overall height adjustment. This caused me a few problems at first (on long journeys). I put a cork mat under the fitted rubber mat to raise my heel.

Service
Fairly good service for a large outfit. I liked the inspection when I first took the car to Arnold Clark
