Living with it
Reliability
Outstanding. Has proved faultless in the 2 years I've owned it, not making the slightest cough. Completely different to my previous Rover 200.
Image
Low on style, but it's inoffensive. A set of alloys and a spoiler would help.
Comfort
Good comfort, even after long periods of driving. Visibilty also makes parking easy.

Security and Service
Security
NATs immobiliser and strong locks should protect it, but the car lacks an alarm system. Who would really want to nick it though?
Service
Great service from dealer, although pricing could be cheaper.
