On the road
Driving
Enormous amounts of grip, great acceleration, terrific fun. Braking assistance can rescue you from trouble.
Performance
Faster than just about everything else under £20k. Faster cars rarely get far away on normal roads.

Living with it
Reliability
2 very minor problems in 3.5 years. (A slightly misaligned window seal and the light doesn't come on for one of the doors).
Image
A head turner. Wave at other Scooby drivers.
Comfort
Suspension a bit hard for some, although I never minded. Driver's seat comfortable. Foot rest pedal next to clutch is great.

Security and Service
Security
Not an expert on security, although supposed to be pretty good.

Excellent - although the true test would have been if I'd had a major problem.
