Bought second hand almost seven years ago. Never regretted it. Excellent value.

Driving
Very enjoyable to drive. Quite dynamic even though the engine is not top of the range.
Performance
Fun when you push it hard, but quite economic when driven sensibly.

Living with it
Reliability
Absolutely no majos problems. Some issues with the door locks. Overall very good for its age.
Image
One of the best looking cars in its age group. Now becoming dated, but still looks quite modern.
Comfort
One of very few cars that I managed to squeeze myself into comfortably (I'm over 6'6''). Comfortable seats, easy to find a good seat and steering wheel setting combination.
