Driving
Brilliant! It's a plesure to drive and for such a small car, long distances are fantastic.
Performance
Pulls forever. A lot better than any GTi. Good torque through all ranges. I've had a few sporty cars in my time, but this is the most exiting. 0-60 is quicker than the 7.5 stated.

Living with it
Reliability
Only usual where and tear to comment on.
Image
Depends. With pearlescent paint and 16" alloys, it looks the biz and turns heads, but you have to pay for it. Run-of-the-mill ones look the same as the rest.
Comfort
Very. Part leather seats, Nokia built in phone hands free unit. I drive all over in this car and its an arm chair on wheels with all the comforts of home.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser very secure. I think it is anyway, as no one has tried to have a go at it.
Service
Very good. Always helpful and friendly.
