    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I bought my car from a dealer who was having a clearout. Best value for money of any car I have ever bought.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not owned my car very long. Insurance a bit steep but set against the cost of the car you can't complain.

    Pleasant to drive. Very comfortable. All the electric gadgets you need. Does feel the bumps a little but I prefer a sporty ride.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seems fine although I havn't really put it through it's paces yet. Plenty of go from the 16v unit. Great for safe overtaking.

    My car is white and I think it looks as good and as modern as anything on the road. I have a private plate on mine so it could be only 7 years old.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quite a firm ride but seats are very supportive. Nice feel from power steering. Great stereo. Plenty of rear passenger legroom.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Standard Alarm/Immobiliser seems adequate.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Not required attention or servicing yet. Will update after first service or 5,000 miles.
