Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy

At the time of purchase, couldn't beat the price for the specification included.
Costs
Good miles per gallon. However, a new steering wheel will be needed soon. The leather is coming away - out of manufacturer's warranty.

On the road
Driving
Good start off speed for the size of the engine. A little noisy over 70mph (although you should not be going any faster!)
Performance
For a car of this size, good.

Reliability
Haven't broken down yet. Touch wood!

Bought it for the styling.
Comfort
Seats very comfortable. Only gripe would be the high driving position, even on the lowest height setting for the seat. Not much room in the back for adults.

Security
I would have expected an alarm.
Service
Problems with trim. Out of warranty 1 month they did not want to know. Otherwise they fixed things efficiently.
