Value
Not bad but devalues quick. I bought mine 1 year ago and has dropped two grand in price.
Costs
Seems a very thirsty car for a 1.6!

Driving
Quite a nice drive, handles well.
Performance
Not bad, quite nippy, but hasn't got the torque it should have for a sport.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine hasn't been very reliable but might have just picked a baddun.
Image
Looks quite neat, nice shape. Needs a spoiler being a sport though.
Comfort
Very comfy, sport seats are good with pull out bit for long legs!

Security and Service
Security
Had no problems so far. Double lock on remote. Quite good.
Service
Spent £800 pounds recently on a full service, most of which was labour! Customer service wasn't too good either.
