On the road
Driving
Great fun. Grips the road well. Rear is easy to slide, but also easy to control.
Performance
Very impressive for a 1.4. Will beat most things this side of a GTi away from the lights.

Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't broke down on me yet.
Image
As mine's pretty much as standard, it's not anything special.
Comfort
Comfy and supportive bucket seats. Can do 3/4 hours straight driving quite easily.

Security and Service
Security
Well, it's still not been broken into, but I wouldn't say security is one of its strong points.
Service
I have it serviced by a local garage, and it's very cheap. No experience of main dealer.
