Cheap considering the high level of equipment and build quality.

Good fuel economy (even around London!); low insurance bracket, but servicing a bit steep (168 squid for full service).

On the road
Driving
Quite fun, but harsh over bumps and lack-lustre up steep hills.
Performance
Quite nippy about town and composed on motorway.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
Aimed at young drivers with meaty looks, alloys and fogs. Neat feature - you can turn front fogs on without dazzling anyone behind (shows again how the car is aimed at the young). Good 6-speaker stereo.
Comfort
Decent space inside, but harsh over bumps with stiff suspension, but fits with sporty image.

Security and Service
Security
Apparently good locks and immobiliser (no break-ins so far).
