Sadly, the vehicle sale cost does not justify the quality.

Driving
The vehicle ride is superbly responsive through the steering and throttle, filling you with bags of confidence in this vehicle.
Performance
Superb power-to-weight ratio, which combined with the handling supremecy of this car, enables it to earn the name of the hot hatch king.

Living with it
Reliability
This rating was given due to myself having to now spend £ on maintenance work and slight restorational items, such as number plates and fog lights that are renowned to break down.
Image
The appearance of the vehicle is ageless due to the stunning shape and those very timeless alloys.
Comfort
The vehicle can become a tad bit boring on motorways, which does result in discomfort.

Security and Service
Security
It is essential to fit an immobiliser to the vehicle. Been very desirable to thieves.
Service
Very good service and availability of parts, but damn costly!
