Economy
Value
Paid £5500 3 yrs ago and its done 55,000 miles. Still runs like a watch. Surprised at its toughness and reliability.
Costs
Servicing ok, but replaced brake pads & discs twice in 3 years and new exhaust cost over £220! Parts are pricey. Very economical on gas though and a full tank seems to last forever.

On the road
Driving
Handles like a sports car, great chassis. Nippy through towns and easy to park.
Performance
Nippy through town, but it feels the strain on motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
Incredibly reliable. Very surprised. Corroded exhaust needed replacing, but the car has run like a watch from day one.
Image
Nice exterior styling, but too common to attract any attention. Ideal for some?
Comfort
It's true, my wife and I are only 5ft 5"" and after 3 years we still find it impossible to get the seating position right. Very uncomfortable on trips over an hour.

Security and Service
Security
Car parked on hardstand outside house. Had wheel trims nicked but nothing else to report.
