Driving
Although not the most powerfull car I've owned, it's definately the most fun to drive. The engine is peach - very rev happy with a silky smooth gear change. Handing is very fluid.
Performance
Engine revs comfortably to 7200rpm. A bit ordinary to start with but comes on cam at 5000rpm and blasts towards the redline. In gear times are very good considering only a 1.3 8v.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far but, due to low gearing and high reving engine, would recommend a good synthetic oil as the engine gets quite hot at motorway speeds.
Image
Not as nice-looking as the series 2 Rallye, but very rare looks much nicer then an XSi. The Rallye has flared arches and Rallye decals and is fully colour coded (except wing mirrors).
Comfort
Sports interior is nice and seats are excellent. No soundproofing though, so a lot of road/wind noise when cruising.

None fitted.

Problems
Engine
Keep an eye on oil/coolant levels - engine is stressed due to high revving nature.
