Everything fixed under warranty so far, but checked out parts prices and seem OK.

On the road
Driving
Nippy enough round town, fine on country lanes - excellent on motorway. Big bum makes you think before going for narrow gaps - it's as wide as an Omega!
Performance
Slow for the engine size - but all those safety features are heavy - gearbox has good ratios
-
Living with it
Reliability
Had it 8 weeks, been in the garage 4. New starter switches, window motors, alarm £1250 (warranty) headlight sensor, boot catch and brakes.
Image
Sporty and youthful image I think - looks good next to Focus/Golf/Leon.
Comfort
Spot on - 4 big adults 500 mile round trip in a day - no complaints. AC is good.
-
Security and Service
Security
10/10 (but see reliability)
Service
Sales manager was useless, garage manager unable to resolve complaint, damaged car when it was in for warranty claim, courtesy car was a van and we had to wait 2 weeks for that. As soon as warranty is up I'll be taking it to my local garage.
