Nice smooth drive but the 1.4 lacks grunt with a full load.
Performance
Economical but, as above, could do with a little more power.

Living with it
Reliability
Replaced starter motor (under warranty), otherwise a good little motor.
Image
The newer face (from Avensis) is much better. It now appeals to all, rather than just grannies.
Comfort
Not much legroom for the driver - I have the seat all the way back and I"m only 5ft 9ins. Very cramped in the back with the front seat fully back.
-
Security and Service
Security
No problems yet (touch wood), although like all cars the alarm has woken me in the middle of the night once or twice (damned cats!)
Service
Only minor contact so far. A better judgment will be made after the first service.
