Driving
Fantastic to drive. Holds the road well and really feels like it wont let you down.
Performance
Very fast for a 1.6 and expecially as it's 8v. I have raced and beaten saxo VTSs and Fiesta Zetec-Ss.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable. My car has done 108,000 yet the engine sounds as good as new. I've never had a problem with it and never had any trouble starting it, even in the middle of winter.
Image
Great looking car. Some older models look a bit dated, but the new shape looks great, expecially with the extended side-skirts and colour coded bumpers with front spotlights.
Comfort
Extremly comfortable. Instantly at home when sitting in it and has a lot of room for driver and even back seat passengers.

Good locking system and seems strong. They all come with immobilisers standard and are very hard to steal.
