Economy
Costs
These cars and their parts are everywhere - cheap!

On the road
Driving
Lots of fun, including pant-filling understeer in the wet! Firm suspension, good brakes.
Performance
It surprises everyone! Out-accelerates 70% of the boy-racers and can reach 110mph on the flat!

Living with it
Reliability
Engine is a real trooper. Suffers from niggly problems - leaky tank, brakes etc.
Image
Terrible. Feel the shame when you out-accelerate an Escort. Actually looks quite sporty due to twin intakes on bonnet.
Comfort
Average.
-
Security and Service
Security
Mine has remote central locking and alarm. Not sure if that was standard - no one's ever tried to steal it.
Service
Never used the dealer.
