-
Economy
Value
Solid and well equipped. Lots of toys.
Costs
Cheap insurance, very cheap tax, 55+mpg combined. Not bad at all.

On the road
Driving
Comfortable and secure, but very, very slow on the motorway and A roads. OK for round town.
Performance
My brother in law has a tractor which would beat this from the lights, well its not that bad I suppose but I wish I had the more powerful 80bhp version.

Living with it
Reliability
No faults so after 18K miles. Sunroof rattles though, which is very irritating.
Image
Some people think its a bit 'feminine' but I don't mind. I like it and lots of my friends have them.
Comfort
Overall its a good run about and I drive from Birmingham to Devon twice a month and its fine for that as well.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm!? I had my passenger window smashed the other night, they were after my sat nav. I cant rely on my neighbours to warn me when my car is broken into at 3am every time.
Service
The dealer was a bit funny when I haggled for this car and I had to wait for 1/2 hour to collect my car as he was with another customer, even though other sales men were sat drinking coffee.
