Economy
Value
When you consider you get 225bhp, 209lb ft, Brembo brakes, 6 CDs, ESP, ABD, EBD, airbags galore, 5 doors, 5 seats, a big boot, 18" alloys, street cred (at 29 not so important) and black roof lining, £18k is a mere snippet.
Costs
Hasn't cost anything. In 2100 miles in one month and I haven't even had to add oil... of course I've checked it.

On the road
Driving
As an all-round package, comparing it with its direct, hot-hatch competitors - it is absolutely the best all round package currently available.
Performance
Absolutely stunning, low down torque makes it the most satisfying drive in the hothatch community, it's economical and, as Mitsubishi say, it is FQ!

Living with it
Reliability
Compare it to brand new A3s - recall for windscreen washer motor, Megane's endless manufacturing faults - it's practically Japanese for a German-owned Spanish company.
Image
Just blummin look at it, it is the sexiest car for £18k... in the world.
Comfort
Seats are brilliant, front and back and nothing is cramped.

Security and Service
Security
