For the money there is nothing else

Cheap insurance, 27 mpg, no need to buy an expensive alarm.

On the road
Driving
Milady says Parker is a tad miserly with his one star- just!
Performance
1.7i is surprisingly sprightly and can shock the baseball cap spotties.

Living with it
Reliability
As reliable as Tony Blair's grin but slightly less cheesy.
Image
As couth as a night on the pop with the Taliban.
Comfort
Hard in a comforting way - a sort of Gulag armchair.

Security and Service
Security
No need to buy an expensive alarm; mind you, my two Rotties deter those who mistake it for a Suzuki on steroids.
Service
Excellent. There is actually someone at the end of the phone who cares. (Mercedes take note!)
