Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-

Cheap to buy (2nd hand), but just keep depriciating.
Costs
Generally good. Certainly cheap on insurance.

On the road
Driving
Decent, but hardly a sports car. Nice to chuck about though!
Performance
Not the greatest off the lights.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Nothing mechanical has gone (yet). Trim is a bit flimsy.
Image
Not a bad looking car, and miles better than the MkIII.
Comfort
The wife complains something chronic, I find it average.
-
Security and Service
Security
It's got deadlocks, but no alarm. Then again, who's going to nick it?
Service
Network Q, so good service, but nowhere near the cheapest.
