Economy
Value
Fairly expensive for car size, with a mixture of good and cheap looking materials inside. Seat materials and door finishes poor.
Costs
Only 1 service at £12k cost about £150. Only cost so far so quite acceptable.

Driving
Easy to drive and flexible around town. Very good on Motorway, althoug a bit prone to side winds.
Performance
For only 90bhp, it is very respectable and quicker than you think (look in the rear view mirror to find out!) Very good performance on motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Not let me down at all after 15k miles. Clonking from front suspension and rattly tailgate sorted by dealer quickly. Right turn indicator problems done in 10 minutes, but took 4 months to get part!
Image
Looks great in 3-door form and in Silver or Met Black. Gets plenty of admiring looks, even now. Looks a bit dumpy from behind though.
Comfort
Seats pretty comfy, but could do with lumbar support. Can't quite get the seat back angle and height right for me.

Security and Service
Security
Seems pretty good, but should have alarm.
Service
Dealer is helpful and has phoned to check repairs are ok, but usually fully booked for a week in advance. Took 4 months to get new indicator control. Other minor problems rectified but quality control lacking on delivery.
