    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb car for the money - I drive it 1000 miles a week.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Dealer service overpriced. Go to an independant. The reason this car has 6000 mile services is to check the auxiliary belt is ok. Use good quality oil and 9-10k mile servicing is fine.
