On the road
Driving
I had M-Tech suspension as a factory fitted. Stuck to the road, but a bit dubious of putting the power down on a corner in the wet.
Performance
For a 1.8, it pulled quite hard considering it only has 140bhp. Then again, this car's handling is its plus point.
-
Living with it
Reliability
The car is very reliable considering I use it to commute.
Image
All I say is if you are doing 70mph in fast line, not many people will flash you to pull over, especially with the Bavarian motor works back pinned to the boot.
Comfort
A comfortable car for commuting. Driving positon is very good.

Security and Service
Security
Had no problem with security.
Service
Dealers are a bit snotty when you pull up asking for help with parts or advice. They are more interested on trying to sell newer models.
