On the road
Driving
Nice drive. Nippy. Felt like it was sliding when going round long bends. (I'm probably driving too fast maybe). Brakes, steering and clutch all very soft.
Performance
Good MPG. Fast enough. Bit noisy on the motorway and it felt like you were going fast, rather than cruising.

Reliability
Air conditioning, radio, radio cassete cover, sun roof, driver's heated seat, reverse gear, rear wash wipe and injection o ring all broke but repaired under warranty. GET WARRANTY.
Image
Looks sporty, but it's a fiat.
Comfort
Was comfy and nice to drive. Liked the rear headrests.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser. Didn't get pinched. Very sensitive alarm activation button on key - always setting alarm when starting it.
Service
Tried to get me to buy a whole injection unit (£400) because of a split o ring. He couldn't be bothered searching for one. (Wortley, Leeds).
