On the road
Driving
I'm 6' tall and find it a very comfortable car, I don't even need the seat to be all the way back, very comfortable driving position.
Performance
It's a 92bhp in a big body, it's not that quick but for everyday driving it's everything you'd ever need, plenty of power for overtaking all the way from 30 - 80mph

Living with it
Reliability
I've owned mine from 106k miles to 181k miles to date and the odd things has worn as you'd expect, but it's never broken down and never not started, i've always serviced it on the dot and it pays you back by being totally reliable.
Image
Great modern loking car, doesn't look too dated even though the new model is out.
Comfort
No complaints regularly have 5 people in the car, you can relax in it on long journeys.

Problems

Servcied every 6k oil change and 12k full service and never had a problem, cambelt changed regularly too, every 30k, why take the chance.
Other
Very safe, once on dual carriageway was passing a bmw and he changed lane straight into me and pushed me into the barrier. 70mph crash and had 2 dented wings, fantastic, no damage to the passanger compartment at all, a solid machine
