Value
Great value for money. Even pushing the engine hard still gives me about 57mpg.
Costs
Very cheap to run. Only needs a service every 10k miles.

Driving
Good car to drive. Feels bigger than it actually is. Tends to roll quite a bit through corners. Quiet for a diesel.
Performance
Nippy at the lights then more leisurely. No turbo!

Living with it
Reliability
Overall very good. Only a couple of fuses have blown (probably my fault) and the aerial stopped working.
Image
Unpretentious. Easy on the eye.
Comfort
Good size seats in the front and the rear ones are quite comfy as well. Only seats 4.

Security and Service
Security
Not been broken into or stolen yet!
Service
As with other manufacturers, they only want to get your money. SEAT in Liverpool couldn't even fix an incorrectly wired stereo (fitted by SEAT Manchester!). Did a real bodge job. I do not recommend them.
