On the road
Driving
Great handling. You can really push it through the corners.
Performance
Oh dear. This car is quite slow off the mark (0-60 in about 14 secs) but when you get it going it runs well. It cruises comfortably at 80 - 95mph well.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. I do about 20,000 miles a year in this car and it has never let me down. Only replacements have been due to general wear e.g. tyres and exhaust.
Image
Average image, but can be improved as there are many modifictions available on the market.
Comfort
Seats could be better, but what do you expect from a car at this price?
