Driving
Handling is superb, very involving to drive, not fun around town, too much turbo-lag, low gears are not smooth.
Performance
Quick, but not as quick as I thought it would be! I should have got an STi!

Living with it
Reliability
So far, excellent.
Image
Driver's car, not a posers car. Women don't know what it is, real men will nod and smile at you!
Comfort
Comfortable seats, good driving position, more gadgets, more design in interior needed.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, alarm, seems ok. Ask me when some git has nicked it!
Service
Very friendly. More of a relaxed family feeling, however in my experience this means they are not as efficient as larger manufacturers. Won't let me tune the car because it's on Contract Hire - very annoyed!
