Driving
Nice to drive, comfortable ride but handles well.
Performance
Excellent for a diesel car. Can be slow at the lights in first and second gear but not too bad if you keep the revs up. Once you get into 3rd gear the car starts to fly and continues to accelerate well.

Living with it
Reliability
Had a problem once with starting the engine when it was very frozen but after new heater plugs it has started like a dream ever since.
Image
Nice shape, looks good with alloys, spoiler and lowered.
Comfort
Nice smooth ride and yet it still corners well. I love the dash, its stylish and has handy cubby holes. Seats could do with being a bit more shaped and have more lumbar support.

Security and Service
Security
Mine didn't come with an alarm, just an immobiliser. But it does have dead locks which make things more difficult for the thief.
Service
None.
