On the road
Driving
Average to drive. Not very exciting but then again do I want umdersteer etc when it comes to long distance driving, which I do a lot of.
Performance
Not the best diesel I've driven for diesel consumption. Mine does about 400 miles (at a push) to a tank.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine has had no end of niggly problems. The rubber seal on the doors keep coming away from the doors. The sump gasket has gone cost me £99 to put right.
Image
With the alloys and spoiler this looks quite a sporty car.
Comfort
Quite comfortable. My backside didn't go numb at all when we drove to Weymouth which was about a 3 - 4 hour drive for me.
