    Handles really well. Can be thrown like a small hatchback and is superbly composed.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Just under 10 seconds to 60mph now and tops out at about 125mph. Not bad for a 1.6.

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Minor niggles with brakes, radiator and usual heater fan problem. Other than that, very good.

    None at all. No one wants to steal them because of this which was why I bought it.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent driver's seat. Very comfortable on long trips.

    Hasn't been stolen or broken in to, so it must be ok.

    Don't know. Never dealt with them, other than buying it.
