Economy
Value
Expensive to buy due to the apparent condition and full service, read the cost part and you will understand the rating.
Costs
I bought the car to save money, it has a full main dealer service, fairly low miles for the breed and is cosmetically imacculate but the engine has been a nightmare costing nearly a grand to put right (radiator, head gasket, the list of faults goes on).

On the road
Driving
Car drives ok. Was rated when new and is still better that a lot of new cars of the size, but is nothing compared to a Focus.
Performance
Nippy for derv with a mountain of torque (when healthy!)

Living with it
Reliability
Shocking is the only way to describe the engine which is surprising, otherwise no other faults.
Image
Looks good in white with GTi alloys (de badged it would be identical to a Rallye).
Comfort
Excellent on motorways, seats are bit soft but ride quality is excellent.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, but it looks good and it has not been stolen in Bradford!
Service
Dealers have never been anything other than excellent with hire cars and reasonable pricing.
