On the road
Driving
Fairly average driving for an auto, scraped my head on the ceiling (6' 2").
Performance
Not bad - kickdown not too good with a heavy right foot though!

Living with it
Reliability
Battery dead after a couple of years. Brakes crap. Eventually blew it up as well... (see my other reports).
Image
Nice looking (for birds) - bit of a girlie poser car with the headlamps that don't take any foreplay!
Comfort
Excellent for a short arse, but not so good if you're over 5 foot 8...
-
Security and Service
Security
Only broken into twice... keep a Jack Russell on the dash and you won't have any problems (apart from the s**te!)
Service
All good - unusual for a main delaer and didn't take the piss.
