Living with it

No real problems apart from 3 clutch cables and rocker cover gasket in 16 months.
Image
Affordable break from the norm, and good crack between other sporting drivers.
Comfort
Firm ride, but aids in keeping the car on the road if you slam it.

Security and Service
Security
Just a Transponder immobiliser as standard, not enough if you're serious about ice!
Service
Parts are costly through certain dealers, it's like they get the extra big calculator out.
