Driving
I drive 150 - 200 miles per day and I find when I have to be in 8-10 places per day this car is sluggish and unresponsive.
Performance
I do not have a lead foot, however my colleagues and I are continuously wheel spinning in 1st AND 2nd gear, due to lack of grip.

Living with it
Reliability

Image
This car is ugly and as a person in my late 20's in a sales position, I have been labelled by my friends as grandpa!
Comfort
This car does not have comfortable seats nor does it have an adjustable headrest. When you spend several hours per day in this car it creates problems with posture.

Security and Service
Service
The amount of times the car has been into the dealers for the same brake problem is a problem.
