Alarm and cd player would have been good. Better drive and value than a Golf.

Reliability
Fair amount of car to go wrong, but after 66,000 still reliable.
Comfort
Could do with more lumbar support on front seats, but firm and supportive otherwise. Good driver set up. Plenty of headroom for the tall driver.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks and immobiliser. Tricky bonnet to get in to. Who pays attention to alarms anyway?
Service
Reasonable, but had to work hard with them to make sure they fixed everything. They honoured the warranty with no qualms.
