Value
So much car for so little money. Definite second-hand bargain!

Relatively inexpensive to service and maintain (as long as done as advised).

On the road
Driving
Rear wheel drive, turbo + wet = too much time spent sideways and, yes, you do do it deliberatly at every opportunity. Very predictable when rear is in play :)
Performance
Great handling. Steering adjustable with throttle, performance is great and very strong through out the rev range. Turbo lag is both anoying and one of the best features!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Only problem so far was weak gearbox syncro, but dealer sorted under warranty!
Image
Very understated, but people get out of the way on motorways, which is nice ;)
Comfort
Supprisingly supple for a fairly tight package.

Security and Service
Security
Not had any issues, so wouldn't be able to tell you.
Service
After some initial niggles with getting the syncro sorted, they have been very helpful.

Problems
