Costs
Economy great, cheap tax.

On the road
Driving
An easy car to drive, and park. Mine's got sport suspension which adds fun to a otherwise bland drive.
Performance
For a 1.2 16v, you can't go wrong. Will easily do 80 on motorway, plenty of grunt for overtaking.

Living with it
Reliability
Had a couple of niggles with the suspension, might be because the car has been driven hard.
Image
The 'Design' spec is great, attractive paint colour - looks very posh for a tiddler.
Comfort
Seats hard on long journeys, no armrests in centre of seats, sports suspension very hard.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm.
Service
Fantastic every time. However annoying that the fitters change all your settings like aircon, bass and treble on stereo, steering wheel, leave finger prints on sat nav screen etc.
