Driving
Doesn't stick to the road as others in class do. Back of car has a habit of steping out on roundabouts.
Performance
For a 1.4, it's nippy. Better than some 1.6s I have driven.

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems so far.
Image
Sleek lines. I guess you either love it or hate it. Very popular, though.
Comfort
Seats feel flat and long journeys can cause back ache. Although seat and wheel adjustment is handy.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks and immobiliser. Can't even add an alarm with out going to Vauxhall (no room in engine bay).
Service
Not had too much dealing with them, but when I do it's not great.
