Economy
Value
Great value for money at £5,500 from a trader, only 40k miles, air con, satelite nav, leather seats, S/R, E/M, CD and economical what more do you want!
Costs
Think if go to main dealer can be costly, try and go to local garages .

On the road
Driving
Best on motorway, thought some wind noise on motorway at 80mph +, have reached 110mph unknowingly, oops!
Performance
£10 petrol can give 100 miles driving, not bad. Fairly perky once your'e on 2nd gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had for a month so far, but hey its a jap, and who can beat the japs for reliablity.
Image
Looks nice in black, back of car looks similar to bmw 3 series, I prefer saloon as the hatchback, I feel, doesn't look as nice.
Comfort
Leather seats comfy, like the idea of selecting from fingertips of steering wheel the cd, radio and volume.
