Excellent spec for money. Fuel economy could be better.
Costs
Main dealers are notoriously expensive so I use independant garage.

On the road
Driving
Lacks acceleration for a 1.8 in lower gears a bit bulky around town but is first class in high gears. It loves ^^a^^ roads and motorways. Gear change is awful when starting from cold but is OK when warm.
Performance
Needs a bit more zip!

Living with it
Reliability

Image
Second only to executive cars ( ie BMW, Mercedes etc ).
Comfort
Very refined.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser ensures a tough job for any prying eyes.
Service
I always deal with independant garages as main dealers are always poor.
