Economy
Value
Good performance for the money.
Costs
Averages 30 mpg. Spares can be expensive, though not outrageous. Not had to replace anything major other than exhaust in 4 years' ownership. Discs last about 25,000. Still got original shock absorbers. Rear tyres last about 15-20,000, fronts about 30,000.

Driving
Handles well mostly although rear tyres can spin in wet or slippery conditions if you're not careful. Suspension is on the firm side but not uncomfortable.
Performance
Good midrange acceleration means you don't have to rev it hard, though top-end power is good too. A little bit flat below about 2,000 rpm but nothing terrible.

Reliability

Comfort
Very comfortable seats and driving position, even for 6ft plus people. Can drive it all day without a problem. Rear seats for very small people only.
