Value
Excellent for the performance and running costs but the interior is built to a budget.
Costs
Too early to judge but its cheap to insure, tax and fill up.

Driving
This experience is relative but it drives beautifully. Only 1,000 miles covered but very direct and secure. Lovely link between accelerator and performance.
Performance
Great, the first car in years to put a smile on my face. It just pulls and pulls almost any gear and any speed. There's a slight lull before 1500 rpm but after that, just watch the cars behind disappear.

Living with it
Reliability
Not had it long enough.
Image
Never been bothered with image, just what's under the bonnet
Comfort
Its firm but that's to be expected. The lack of body roll is good. The worst aspect of this car is the road noise from the tyres. It starts at about 20mph on all but the smoothest roads and can be loud. Doesn't get worse with speed though.

Security
Should be good I hope.
