Living with it
Reliability
I've had 2 of these due to having the 1st one written off, the car stood up to being hit by a lorry extremely well and saved my life! Brakes corrode quite quickly, but that's probably due to me living by the sea.
Image
Looks brilliant in black and this model is a limited addition with the newer 1.2 16v engine like the clips sold today.
Comfort
The seats lack support at the end of the seat, which can make your legs ache after a long journey.

Security and Service
Security
Never been broken into, however i did have my keys stolen and had the locks changed including the ECU because its all linked together. This was paid by my insurance but cost over £1000 so don't lose your keys!
Service
I took the car for an MOT at the main dealer, who decided that a lot of work would have to be done for the MOT, however I disagreed because it had low mileage and I look after it well. I took the car somewhere else for the MOT where they found no faults!
