Not too bad to drive. Can get a bit tedious on a long drive, though. Upgrade the stereo and away you go.
Performance
Fairly quick off the mark, comparable to a Clio 1.4.

Starts first time, even in the cold. Be careful of servicing lies.

Bright Yellow! What else can you say? Wicked.
Comfort
Bit of a bumpy ride.

Security and Service
Security
The basic alarm is naff. Upgraded to a Clifford with window closers. Head-turning stuff.
Service
Totally unsatisfactory service from dealer. Had cambelt changed at service which failed after 2 weeks. Now sueing Fiat!
