Economy
Value
Mine was a company car, but I'm about to actually buy one, but not from a dealer!
Costs
Again, mine was a company car, though I would have serviced it myself. The main dealers were utter criminals (name withheld) but needed as it is a very 'electronic' vehicle that needs to be plugged into diagnostics at each service.

On the road
Driving
Pedal position took a while to get used to, it always seemed easy to drive although the diesel engine needed to be 'pushed' to get anywhere at a reasonable speed.
Performance
Did loads to the gallon (Averaged 43mpg over 28,000 miles) and could just touch 110mph on occasions.

Living with it
Reliability
Always started, whatever the temperature or weather. Problems I had were the indication of 'humidity in the diesel fuel filter' which was fixed 4 times at a Fiat dealer but always came back. The ventilation fan also broke.
Image
A bold statement. Those without strength of character should buy only anonymous cars.
Comfort
All comfy inside but the front seats weren't as supportive as in a normal car. (Cushion & back of seat had hardly any bolster).

Security and Service
Security
Well, no-one ever stole it, so it can't have been too bad!
Service
The main dealer in my city (a major east midlands city) had waiting lists of over 1 month for a service. They couldn't fix the error messages and messed up the warranty repair of the ventilator fan twice!
