On the road
Driving
A bit slow getting going, but brilliant on motoway. Handling superb, although ride a bit firm on city potholes! Feels really solid.
Performance
Just not enough power when accelerating and needs regular change downs on hills. Plenty of top-end power for great high speed cruising.

Living with it
Reliability
Reliable so far, but a few electrical gremlins behind dash.
Image
Has to be the best looking small hatch on the market. Real latin flair.
Comfort
Excellent driving position, with very supportive seats.

Security and Service
Security
Seems to be good and alarm cannot be missed if it goes off!
Service
Dealer is ok, but service desk never available and never phone back when they say they will. Forgot to re-set service indicator at first service, too.
