Paid a bit much for it, but low mileage and worth it!

Tyres wear quickly, petrol is better than 1.6 Escort I had, insurance cheaper than most rivals.

On the road
Driving
Quite firm ride at low speeds, but stiffer suspension for sportier model, corners brilliantly, very nice driving postiton, nice and quiet!
Performance
0-60 in 10sec, 125 top speed can't complain, could do with a few more horses under bonnet, nothing an exhaust etc won't fix.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No major problems yet, knocking on drivers side and clicking windows. apart from that OK.
