Generally fine but it could stick to the road better on corners.
Performance
You'll never beat that teenager speedster at the lights but it's fine around town (inc London) and ok on motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
I had my Fiat for 5 years and it got hammered. Many stop-start miles in London, never got garaged so was outside in all weather's but it never once let me down.
Image
It's ok. Not bad, not really good. Just ok.
Comfort
Long journeys can get uncomfortable. Generally though, seats are more comfortable than more expensive cars.

Security and Service
Security
Didn't have any problems but think it's easy enough to get in. Driving off is another matter though.
