Driving
Good handling. Ride can be a bit bouncy and prone to wandering when it's windy. Do 3000 miles a month in it at the moment and can't complain too much.
Performance
Feels underpowered when overtaking, but cruises happily at motorway speeds.

Living with it
Reliability
Only problem was when the air filter housing was broken by the dealer who then bodged a repair causing it to fall off on the M1!
Image
A bit girly, especially in red.
Comfort
The best car seats I have ever sat in.

Security
Not been broken into yet. Locks itself if you don't open a door within 30 seconds.
Service
Dealers can be a bit unfriendly, but Gordon Lamb in Chesterfield give you a discount of 17.5% when it's 4 years' old.
