Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all in a year's ownership.
Image
Really good, but it's not the turbo, not that that worries me.
Comfort
Decent, with adjustable drivers seat. Firm/sporty ride. Lacks plipper and air-conditioning.

Security and Service
Security
Lacking the turbo bulge makes it less of a target.
Service
One dealer charged for two air filters! Otherwise good.
