-
Economy
Value
Reasonable cost if bought as a used car.
Costs
Absolutely brilliant if running costs are a must. 50mpg is the least you will get if you drive hard.
-
On the road
Driving
Too much road noise transmitted through the cabin.
Performance
I know you will be surprised, but once the turbo comes in, this car is very quick - it will accelerate all the way up to very fat speeds and will catch out cars with twice the CC.

Living with it
Reliability
Good, apart from a couple of minor electrical problems and a wheel bearing.
Image
Just another family car, but one with a very well kept secret. Also economical.
Comfort
Let down by the intrusive road noise. Seats good.

Security and Service
Security
I live in the North of Scotland, so security is not a issue. Only sheep to steal it.
Service
Excellent and fairly reasonable. Biggest bill has been 300 pounds including full brake replacement.
