Paid £1500, had it for 3 months, enough said.
Costs
Everything that could go wrong did, older models parts are very expensive!

On the road
Driving
Poor handling, no fun to be had!
Performance
Drove like a 1.1, no 'go' in it at all, easy to drive but so boring.

Living with it
Reliability
Went through a month of refusing to start, alternator was actually overcharging, not good in cold at all.
Image
Cheap rip off of most saloon's styling..…done badly.
Comfort
Fairly comfortable interior, but as you'll spend most of time under bonnet, who cares?

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser fitted, however this is what causes most of problems; suspect electrics.
