It all depends where you get parts and servicing, but I haven't found it too costly.

On the road
Driving
Nothing too exhilerating, but predictable, safe and reasurring.
Performance
I'm quite happy with it. It can out-accelerate most cars.

Living with it
Reliability
Take a prospective buy to a garage to have them check it out (DONT USE THE AA!) as the previous owner may not have looked after it well, as I found out to my expense!
Image
I've subtly modified mine and I think it looks great and other people give good comments so I'm proud of it!
Comfort
I've never had to complain or fidget on even the longest journeys, better than my mum's newer 306!

Security and Service
Security
I've never had any problems, but added an alarm, and always a security lock because I've added some stuff.
