On the road
Driving
Nice tight ride. Good handling 195/50 15 alloys. Not sure what the standard 14" 60s are like.
Performance
Not a powerful engine for a 1.8, but sufficient for a nippy car. My old Japanese car was 130bhp from a 1.8.

Living with it
Image
Well they are everywhere but look OK.
Comfort
Si has good firm supportive front seats. Firm springs. Wheels make for a harder ride.

Security and Service
Security
Added 2nd alarm. Immobiliser and stop-lock.
Service
Local Ford dealer is a rip-off, but there are plenty to choose from, being Ford.
