Economy
Value
You pay for what you get.
Costs
High insurance costs. I had the car at 18 (around 2k). Serviceing costs always high; cambelt change at 60k miles costs £300. Still nothing else will ever go wrong so can't complain.

Driving
Excellent drive in all condidtions, stay with P6000 tyres. Lower suspension for vast improvement.
Performance
Need to work the gears, take it past 5k rpm and there will be a smile on your face, the car just wants more.
