Cheap to service yourself.

On the road
Driving
Handling is quite good. Little body roll and good grip.
Performance
Engine is weak for a car this size and needs pushing hard if you want to accelerate. Starts getting tired after 80mph, but will go over 100mph just (so I'm told).
-
Living with it
Reliability
Heater matrix leak, not eay to replace. Apart from that, it's good.
Image
Not cool, but not sad either - a happy medium.
Comfort
Comfortable on long runs. Seats don't hold you in too well on twisty roads.
-
Security and Service
Security
The doors lock and there is a nice little flashing red light to ward of would-be thieves - that's it.
