Brilliant for the money.
Costs
Excellent fuel economy, especially on the motorway.

On the road
Driving
Smooth ride and lots of grip, but severe body roll in corners.
Performance
Doesn't set the road on fire, but you wouldn't be looking at diesels if that was what you wanted to do. Impressive amounts of grip in corners.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Unbreakable.
Image
Looks far less dated than many comparable cars of the same age.
Comfort
Smooth ride, adjustable steering wheel and a clutch foot rest.

Security and Service
Security
The "D" designation is more of a deterrent than an alarm would ever be. I know it's 10 years old, but the door handles do feel a bit flimsy to me and the boot needs a huge slam these days.
Service
I only deal with them when it's time for a service - it never breaks.
