Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Felt a bit ripped off by dealer, but low mileage weighs it out a little.
Costs
No bills for it so far.

On the road
Driving
Handles really well on corners and tight bends. Can be a bit light at high speed
Performance
Could do with a few more horse, but it is quick of the mark if you floor it.

Living with it
Reliability
Brake problems ever since I bought it. A few rattles in the cabin.
Image
I think it looks pretty good. They're a bit common now but I've seen some pretty nice modified ones that stand out a treat.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Great seats, although a bit more lower back support would be good. They don't hug me as much as I would like... maybe I need to put on a few more pounds?
-
Security and Service
Security
Double locking good idea, but I think the key fob remote locking is slow and sometimes doesn't work... could be the batteries in the key?
Service
Dealership sold me a really poor finance deal. I have also had the car back to them 3 times and the brakes are stil not fixed.
