-

On the road
Driving
Lowered with 17" alloys. She is a hot hatch or a cruiser - you decide!
Performance
Fantastic in sports mode and relaxing in economy.
-
Living with it
Reliability
You would think it just came out of the box, 100k miles later.
Image
A little dated now, but still cuts it in the pub car park alongside those Mondeos.
Comfort
Need an alarm clock to wake you, they are so comfortable.
-
Security and Service
Security
Aftermarket alarm/immobiliser needed. Insurance companies won't touch you with a barge pole otherwise.
Service
Waste of time with dealers now. Find a good specialist - most of the mechanics are ex-BMW anyway.
