Huge performance (and boot) for the money.

Servicing fairly steep, tyres don"t last long.

Driving
Tendency to wheelspin madly on pulling off and cornering if heavy footed.
Performance
Shockingly fast for an estate car.

Living with it
Reliability
Minor problems, mostly caused by neglect/poor PDI.

Comfort
Nice seating, all mod cons, good heater.

Better now it's got a Cat 1. OK as standard though.
