Value
A lot for the money compared with German rivals, but expensive compared to French/British alternatives. Still, you get what you pay for.
Costs
A bit thirsty, but not unreasonable.

Driving
It feels like a small German car with a German engine - comfortable, compact and well made. A pleasure!
Performance
Noisy on the motorway but other than that as a 1.6 should be.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
A bit samey - but who cares? There has to be a reason so many people have them.
Comfort
Lots of room, front and back, but the silly front armrest that gets in the way - a minor complaint!

Security and Service
Security
It"s still in the drive - no need to test crash safety yet!
