Economy
Value
Got mine 5 months old with a 7K saving!
Costs
Can't see how you can get the claimed 50MPG. Best I have managed so far is 45 on a run, and high 30's round town.

On the road
Driving
Nice driving position, when you eventually manage to adjust the seat to the best position. Can be a little tiresome on a long journey due to the hardness of the seat base, and lack of footrest.
Performance
Doesn't feel as fast as my 130bhp TDi Bora, certainly no slouch though.

Living with it
Reliability
Seems ok, had a couple of 'issues' but nothing that wasn't resolved by the dealer in a professional and curteous manner
Image
Mixed bag this one! Some people turn their nose up (normally XJ drivers!) and no one seems to want to let you out at junctions. Friends & family impressed though
Comfort
Very nice place to be, drivers seat can be a little hard on long journey.
