Money's worth for spec.

Costs low. Good mpg for nippy car.

On the road
Driving
Not bad but a little noisy at speed.
Performance
Quick off mark - 'grandad looks' are deceptive.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems, just alternator at 85,000 miles replaced.
Image
Image does not live up to its deceiving sportiness. Looks like grandad's car, but moves quite fast for a 1.4.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Good seats.
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm along with 'slippers and pipe' look deter joyriders from this 'warm hatch'.
Service
Car of this age benifits more from local garage.
