I'm content with it's looks, don't care what others think.

Security and Service
Security
Ok. Immobiliser but no alarm or deadlocks.
Service
Service has been good but expensive - £300+ for 36k mile service which was 2.5 hrs of the mechanics time (approx £85/hr). This was a franchised garage, needed to keep the warranty intact.
