Cheap to buy and run, petrol return is excellent.
Costs
Cheap to buy, run and service, what more could one ask for?
-
On the road
Driving
Handles corners like a go kart, not particularly fast but feels sprightly.
Performance
It's quick when there's only one of you, load it up and it struggles. It's the only car I've driven which can take junctions in 4th gear.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Excellent, never lift the bonnet except to fill the washer bottle. Yearly servicing takes care of the rest.
Image
Perhaps a bit girly (not good as I'm a bloke), but you see all age groups driving it.
Comfort
Seats aren't the best and they are tilted forward to provide more cabin space, although because it can be driven in 4th gear most of the time, there are less gearchanges.
-
Security and Service
Security
Only immobiliser as standard, but I've left it unlocked loads of times unwittingly and it's never been stolen.
Service
Excellent, always polite and no problems.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine

I went from a 2.3 Saab turbo to this car and have no complaints, probably becasue I'm not forking out as much for petrol.
