Parts are quite expensive, but good mpg.

On the road
Driving
Good Drive, but you do feel the bumps.
Performance
Never had a problem with performance. It never struggles to get up to speed even up hill, although some tighter corners do feel a bit dodgy, but I have never had a skid in it.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time every time, but in the last few months I've had to replace the exhaust, and now the clutch is playing up.
Image
A good looker and when cleaned regularly is a very nice car, although there are a few very minor kinks in the bodywork.
Comfort
Suprisingly large for a small car, plenty of legroom, and easilly takes 3 people in the back. Lots of leg room.

Security and Service
Security
The SX comes with an immobiliser, but when I bought it it had also had an alarm fitted.
Service
A little bit xpensive from the FIAT dealer, but it got the job done quickly.
