On the road
Driving
Handles really well. Can be thrown like a small hatchback and is superbly composed.
Performance
Just under 10 seconds to 60mph now and tops out at about 125mph. Not bad for a 1.6.

Living with it
Reliability
Minor niggles with brakes, radiator and usual heater fan problem. Other than that, very good.
Image
None at all. No one wants to steal them because of this which was why I bought it.
Comfort
Excellent driver's seat. Very comfortable on long trips.

Security and Service
Security
Hasn't been stolen or broken in to, so it must be ok.
Service
Don't know. Never dealt with them, other than buying it.
