-
Economy
Value
What else can you get for the money? This has the same inards as the Audi TT, but it's half the price!
Costs
Uses petrol (30mpg) and insurance will be expensive for inexeperienced or other 'high risk' drivers.

Driving
A pleasure to drive. The weak link for me is the gearbox - compared to the speed of everything else, moving between the gears seems to take too long.
Performance
It's not a Ferrari, but with 180 BHP it'll beat most things.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had it six months. Only problem so far has been an occassionally sticking button on the dash.
Image
Looks the business, in an understated way - perfect for sneaking up on people!
Comfort
Comfortable up front, but rear is cramped. Sporty suspension may not suit some people, but is fine until you hit a pothole.

Security and Service
Security
All the usual stuff, including what is apparently a good alarm system.
