Picked up mine for under £3k with part SH, heavy depreciation, the car had been replaced with a new model.

Cheap insurance group 4. Avoid short journeys all the time or watch the petrol gauge keep going down.

On the road
Driving
Drove fine but a bit more feedback from the gearchange would be nice.
Performance
Only really noticed a difference compared to my old F reg Micra when I got into 3rd gear then things started to pick up.

Living with it
Reliability
Might have had a bad apple but used to cut out when cold approching junctions hence losing PAS, not funny. Driver side rear window seized.
Image
I loved the way it looked, just didn't enjoy driving for the above mentioned.
Comfort
Only thing you'll get is PAS, not a lot on the equipment side of things.

Security and Service
Security
Not on this trim level, not even central locking. I paid £250 for a Cobra alarm/immobiliser.
