Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Best value. Probably one of the second hand car market's best kept secrets.
Costs
Comparable to other makes, and better than most.
-
On the road
Driving
Remember it's a sofa, not a jet plane. Impeccable handling, even at the limit.
Performance
Has plenty of grunt, especially useful when towing a caravan.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time every time. I had a relay go down on the climate control, but a tap with the blunt end of a screwdriver fixed it 'till a new one was obtained.
Image
What a shame, but I don't care. I think it's brilliant.
Comfort
Seats are fine for me, but 'er in doors gets back ache on the longest journeys. It dosen't stop her driving it, though.
-
Security and Service
Security
Security is fairly good, but I think if a thief really wants to break in, then he will. All the security in the world won't stop determination.
Service
Dealer/service is rubbish. I trust a local independant garage for service/repair.
