Living with it
Reliability
Have had new CAT, fault with ECU, new wheel bearing and it is also heavey on brake pads and discs. Would not class it as very reliable.
Image
Looks good and has a great hot hatch image.
Comfort
The ride can be quite hard and the seats are not too comfortable on long journeys. The handling and fun factor more than compensate though.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm/immobiliser. The alarm has a habit of going in wet/windy weather which is a pain.
Service
Have been reasonably OK.
