Economy
Value
Fantastic value for the performance, I have an 'exclusive' model with full leather/ electrics, 6CD stack and special paint make you feel as though you're driving something a little special.
Costs
Touch wood no problems so far in, the year in which i've had it. recent MOT and oil change (inc filter) was only £77

Driving
Handles very well, despite some lean in quick corners, but you must have faith in the car not to lose grip, driving position is poor
Performance
Not a huge amount of power up to 4,000 revs, however, after this VVT kicks in and all hell breaks loose! Very happy to just chugg around town, power is always there when needed.

Living with it
Reliability
Not one problem in the last 12 months
Image
Rare car. People turn to look at it all the time, especially the boy racers. Car is not overstated which is what I love about it, -wolf in sheep's clothing!
Comfort
I drive to cornwall often from london and i'm very happy to sit at 3,750 revs doing 80mph. Noise level is okay and seats give ample room for me and the lass. Not much left though for passengers.
