Value
Had more problems than I could list!
Costs
At first it seemed great but problem after problem has pushed this rating down, great on fuel though, services and parts cost far more than ford etc.

On the road
Driving
The only thing this car has going for it in the driving area is the driving position, the steering is worse than my kids sit on action man truck!! And as for handling you can just simply forget about it!
Performance
The big plus side, the 1.9 engineer really pulls away well off the lights, beats more cars than you would think, fine on the motorway around 80mph any more and the handling and steering just don't cope.

Living with it
Reliability
Where do I start! boast pipe went 4 times, air con twice, main fuel pipe leaked twice, tracking has never been right, steering wheel not stright, starter motor, brakes, bits falling over inside and out, all in all, everything that could of gone wrong has.
Image
at first its a nice family car, but its turned out to be very unsafe with fuel fumes coming inside and the boast pipe keeps coming off meaning the car would go from 80mph down to 30mph in secs on the motorway scared my wife have 2 death
Comfort
Seats are great, often drive long distance and never have a problem, back seats have lots of room and being higher than the front offer a great view, no good for the driver if there's some one in the middle seat though.

Security and Service
Security
Never had a problem, not really the type of car you would nick though.
Service
Cross roads Kidlington, Oxon. Never been so mad in my life, when we had the fuel leack the woman on recp laughed, they take ages to fix anything and often takes they a few goes, never put new parts on trying to make do with fixing old parts.
