Has lost almost no value in a year.
Costs
New exhaust and rear tyres were cheap. Very good fuel economy.

On the road
Driving
Nice and smooth, but far too much body roll. Lots of understeer and sliding if you push it.
Performance
Quite perky for a 1.2 around town. A bit frustrating on the motorway, though.

Living with it
Reliability
Exhaust fell off because it was rusty, but has always started perfectly.
Image
Much better image than the other superminis. Still looks quite fresh.
Comfort
Bigger than most of its competitors. Seats aren't bad, even for a six footer. Good smooth ride.

Security and Service
Security
Has an immobiliser, but I doubt it'd be too hard to steal. No central locking (have forgotten to do them all sometimes).
