Looked at a lot of cars in a similar bracket, this is by far the best equipped.

On the road
Driving
Excellent grip and cornering, great fun in the wet, just watch it if you are inexperienced.
Performance
What can I say, moderate performance until the VVTi kicks in @ 6000 rpm, but then........... its goodbye to most other sports and hot hatches. Just be prepared to work it to get the best performance.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down in nearly 2 years.
Image
Still turns heads!! & for the money you wont buy much better.
Comfort
Seats could grip you a bit better, no rear room, but it is a 2 + 2 just leave your friends at home.

Security and Service
Security
3 stage alarm with deadlocks, seems to do the job. Just don't leave pennies in the centre cup holder or the alarm has a tendency to go off in the middle of the night. Well that's the answer my dealer gave me, & I've had no problems since moving the coins.
Service
Local dealer always remembers me by name, and good pricing, with while you wait servicing (with free coffee) included.
