Metro... image... hmm, now let me see...
Comfort
Front seat comfort not too bad if you slam the seats right back and crush your rear passengers.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm/immobiliser as standard - who's gonna nick it anyway?
Service
Expensive dealer repairs - cost £40 just to diagnose that the head gasket needs replacing.
