Cheap 'n' cheerful!
Comfort
Comfy seats but lacks arm room and only really a four-seater.

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser should be good, but car is not top of list for thieves - hence the low insurance group rating.

Only used main dealer until warranty ran out; independents are a lot cheaper and offer better customer care.
