Living with it
Reliability
1.8 16v. Get what I expected - fast but not too fast.
Image
I'm only 22 so its quite a nice car for a young lad, but wouldn't be wanting one when I'm 30. It's nothing special.
Comfort
It was comfy, but nothing special. Rear head rest however, which went down well with passengers. Quite spacious in back.

Security and Service
Security
Well it's not been stolen, but some little runt smashed my spot lites - £120 to replace. Still need replacing.
Service
One dealer was abismal. I took my injectors apart and broke an o ring in the process (worth 20p). One dealer said need to buy entire injector set (£400), however the other dealer was ace and got me sorted for 3.
