Value
Good spec for money, paid full electrics etc and air conditioning.
Costs
Not spent any money on it yet, so I can't say.

Driving
V tech is good fun. Only reason I still have it, but that's all I can say, this is not a luxury car. Struggles to get 30 to gallon, even if sensible driving.
Performance
Does it fly - yes, you do have to keep the engine pushed though and this causes high revs and noise which means its no good for motorway miles as 70mph gives 5000 revs which feels to the driver as over working the engine just to cruise not good.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet - good.
Image
Looks OK, but very tinny noise when you shut or open the door. Sounds cheap, door handles stick out - yuk.
Comfort
Not suitable for anyone over 6ft as the seats do not go back very far enough, causing uncomfortable leg angle, little headroom or legroom in the back, but hey, you are not looking at a comfort designed car.

Security
No alarm? This is supposed to be a performance car.
