Slow, with a booming engine noise when pushed.

Living with it
Reliability
Engine fuel injector problems, problems with front passanger seat runners from day one, still not resolved, ill-fitting window seals and burnt-out radio head unit.
Image
Looked good at the time, but now a bit long in the tooth.
Comfort
Front seats are supportive and comfortable. The back's for kids only, but the cabin is cramped.

Security and Service
Security
Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser as option.
Service
Very poor, needing to book the car in advance just to look at the faults, then booking again once the parts finally arived. Very unhelpfull and unfriendly.
