Great looking car for the same prices as a Golf.

Servicing expensive through dealers. Repairs aren't cheap either.

VERY GOOD! Never seems to roll, can take anything thrown at it.
Performance
Could do with more poke, but can do 105 mph no problems.

Living with it
Reliability
Never once not started. Central locking playing up and wing mirror loose.
Image
A head-turner, and it's still basically a family hatch; best with alloys and spoiler!
Comfort
Comfy seats, but friends tell me the back is too low and not very spacious

Security and Service
Security
After having the car only two weeks, some idiots tried to break in, but just bust locks and damaged doors.

Never seemed willing to help, REALLY bad service
