Plenty of car for the money - electric bits and bobs, plus excellent performance and economy.
Costs
Good economy. Haven't bought any parts though yet!

On the road
Driving
Excellent! Comfortable and grippy with precise steering, but I'm finding the excessive bodyroll a little un-neving at speed.
Performance
Superb - 0-60 in 9.3 secs and I can vouch for that! Always ready to pull in any gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had it for 2 weeks - strange problem with hot AND cold starting - being sorted by dealership, possibly throttle body...
Image
Doesn't seem to get the respect my last car had on the road (peugeot 405), either because it's a Rover or because it's a Supermini, BUT does look very nice and is appealing to members of the fairer sex!
Comfort
Comfortable and easy to drive. Would score 5 stars if there was a little more support for the lower back, which would count on long journeys!

Security and Service
Security
Adequate. Alarm and immobiliser, but no proximity sensor so if someone smashes your window, you won't know about it.
