Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Mini Cooper is a much better buy for similar money!
Costs
MPG is ok. New Tyres cost a bomb and it goes through brakes very quickly.

On the road
Driving
Good grip but steering can be twitchy at speed. Tail end very twitchy when pushed.
Performance
Great! The 1.6 16v goes like a train. The brakes are fantastic!

Living with it
Reliability
Awful! Engine cuts out randomly, even at motorway speeds. Dealer can not fix problem after 18 months of trying!
Image
Looks fantastic with the GTi body kit on! But what good is image when the engine can make it undriveable?
Comfort
Very nice seats but you sit far too high up and peddles are set awkwardly. Great headroom!

Security

Service
Have been unable/unwilling to fix engine problem even though it's been on Watchdog on TV.
