Nice and smooth and quite qiet, but some road noise. Good brakes as I have ABS.

Living with it
Reliability
Been fine last 2 years, only needed tune up and regular oil/filter changes.
Image
I think image is quite good, especially my SR and the super S model looks great with alloys.
Comfort
Sport seats are very comfortable, driving position feels good.

Security and Service
Security
Not too keen on factory immobiliser as they are quite weak. Would have been better if fitted with alarm as well.
Service
My local dealer is hopeless - they always give you the wrong info and some staff are awfully rude.
