Economy
Value
I brought this car brand new, and found it good value due to the 0% finance offer and 1 year's free insurance.
Costs
As of yet, I have had no service on the car, but costs relating to fuel are average/good, considering this is a 125bhp, 1.8 litre car!

Driving
The car handles like a higher range sports car. Steering is responsive and the and the sports suspension lets you really concentrate on enjoying the experience and not worry about roll.
Performance
This is a fast car. The engine is great on pick up and really pulls through in the mid-to-high-range.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all!
Image
People see this car as a fleet car and not much else, but if you take the plunge you will soon let them know that there is a lot more to it! This car is beefed up with the addition of 16"s and fogs.
Comfort
The seat and steering are fully adjustable, and the sports seats really hold you in place. Very good.
-
Security and Service
Security
The deadlocks are a fine addition and remote locking with interior light activation is good. The steering wheel is also able to fit most types of security device as well.
Service
Only one dealing at the moment, but the dealer did struggle to give me a car with the dealer fit spolier that I asked for when I wanted it, but after a months wait, all was sorted.
