Economy
Value
Fantastic. Bought as ex-demonstrator with 4k on the clock for 5 grand.
Costs
Good fuel economy. I do about 400 miles a week in it and get mid 40s mpg.

On the road
Driving
Responsive steering and decent grip on the windy bits. Brakes lack a bit of feel and chassis can become unsettled by bumps.
Performance
Well, for a 1.2 8v, not bad at all - accelerates well in traffic and gearbox is a joy to use.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all so far.
Image
Everyone I know thinks it looks great.
Comfort
Seats are comfy and supportive. Driving position is good and there is plenty of room in the cabin.

Security and Service
Security
Hmm. Could do with an alarm, but I'm just nitpicking really.

Speedy and attentive (Springfield Gateshead).
