-
Economy
Value
Bought very cheap because of engine problems, so worth 6 times as much if I sold it now.
Costs
It's a luxury car so expect luxurious costs.

On the road
Driving
Certainly no slouch and handles great for it's size.
Performance
170BHP is quick and RWD makes it nimble. Back end is a bit lively in the wet though.

Reliability
Gearbox ate itself 3 months after I bought it but the car had 145000 on it. Second and box for 30 quid. Driven 17000 miles in 6 months with no other problems other than a snapped rear coil spring.

I'm 22 and I drive this. Do you think I care?
Comfort
Top notch for motorway work. Had fully electric leather interior installed and certainly feels better for it. Did Tyneside to Southport and back in a day and felt great afterwards.

Security and Service
Security
Remote fob is a bit temperamental.
Service
Limited experience as my dad is a mechanic so he does most of my work but they have been top notch when I have needed them.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Sedate below 3500rpm, an animal above it. Like having 2 different engines.
Other
17000 miles in 6 months is a lot for a car of it's age. It's had a few problems but I can't say a bad word against it.
