Driving
Comfortable and good engine. Handles well enough. Ride poor, although SRi has firm suspension setup.
Performance
Midrange slightly disappointing for a 2.0 litre, but fairly revvy and quick enough when pushed.

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems in 35k in 2 years. Cracking in joins in front exhaust pipe not through corrosion, which would have necessitated the catalytic convertor, had it not been weld repaired by local dealer.
Image
Nice looking car, but ubiquitous fleet image detracts.
Comfort
Firm seats, but supportive.
