On the road
Driving
Very easy to drive, steering is a bit too light though - which actually causes one to drive more slowly!
Performance
What you would expect from a 1.6 - has to be revved to get the best from the engine.

Living with it
Reliability
Not a car you'd expect to have a lot of trouble with.
Image
With some fox alloys, a rear spolier and finished in metallic blue, it looks pretty good and is more interesting than an Escort or Astra...
Comfort
Everything is very well laid out and easy to use. Plenty of room inside.

Security and Service
Security
Central locking (not remote though) and immobiliser.
Service
Good service, though disappointed the car wasn't cleaned during service.
