Not that exciting. Could be sharper into corners. Generally pleasant to drive, though.
Performance
Not bad. 8v models a little slow to 'pick up'.

Living with it
Reliability
Exhaust went early into purchase. Seems to have an idling problem at the moment where it keeps cutting out, just about to trade in.
Image
Nice enough to look at every now and then. No prestige here, though.
Comfort
Seats ok with lumbar on drivers seat. Steering wheel can be moved up and down.

Security and Service
Security
Really annoying immobiliser kicks in after 30 secs - if you don't start car in that time it resets, meaning you have to lock and unlock to start. If battery fails you can't start car at all!
Service
Not needed.
