With options over priced, keep to a minimum then good value especially with such strong residuals
Costs
Hard to comment as it's a company car, but put it this way I'm glad I've got a warranty!

On the road
Driving
Fabulous steering, handling and body control; hard to fault.
Performance
Mine's modified to 195 bhp and goes like stink, standard is good without being breathtaking.

Living with it
Reliability
Niggly faults, climate control, electrics - nothing major just annoying
Image
Still looks fresh and different although choice of colour, graphics can be critical - some look like tart's handbag if you're not careful
Comfort
It's OK and have found no real problems and I'm tall. Not recommended for back seat passengers though.

Security and Service
Security
Tracker is recommended. Can be nicked without too much trouble I understand.
Service
Highly variable, best to shop around. Some really have a very bad attitude
