Driving
Great apart from the tank which only holds about £25-28 worth of fuel - long distance traveller will be making regular stops to refill. All in all, good MPG.
Performance
A larger engine needed for overtaking on motorways and uphill.

Living with it
Reliability
100% if care and attention is taken over minor faults, i.e. temperature rising, loss of water, however minor, need attention as it could lead to a blown headgasket.
Image
Special editions have sporty exterior and alloys make a lot of difference.
Comfort
Fantstic seats, however the gear stick is a little bit of a stretch.

Security and Service
Security
Being an undiscovered car (unless driven), who would want to steal it?! Distinct sounding security alarm.
