Economy
Value
I paid £5000 for this last year, only for it to be worth about £3500 now. I didn't research before parting with cash... just looked gorgeous on the forecourt.
Costs
Never had to do anything yet (YET!)

On the road
Driving
Only problem I have is radio cutting out when intermittent wipers are on.
Performance
Never owned diesel before. So impressed with the turbo and pick up. Slow in first, but second and third give it welly!

Living with it
Reliability
As yet, no problems. Never broken down - touch wood! Battery flat once, that's all.
Image
Looks very smart, with spoiler and alloys. Interior with grey leather all over looks snazzy too.
Comfort
I don't feel really comfortable whilst driving. Headrests are too far back to rest on and sometimes cause bad posture.

Security
Alarmed and immobilised - seems to work really well.
