On the road
Driving
Smooth once I had wheels balanced, easy and fun to drive!
Performance
Can't complain, quick for a 1.4, still plenty there when in 5th, gives me confidence when overtaking, handling good too.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down (but haven't had the car long and I have heard about HGF on these), but its been fully serviced and well looked after by all its owners from what I can gather. (If you are kind to your car your car will be kind back).
Image
I think they look tidy and can be tastefully modded without the boyraacer image which is naff. The MG ZRs show the up a bit though I feel.
Comfort
Spot on, I am 5'8"" with long legs! Steering wheel can be adjusted too should suit most I think.
