Living with it
Reliability
Not had anything mechanically go wrong with the vehicle - finishing was not the best.
Image
Cool, fun, flamboyant. Still turns heads. The recent VW advert 'Smile' really sums up this car.
Comfort
Not much room in the back. Front very spacious. Took me a while to find an optimal driving position, though.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser. Security thankfully not tested... Car will lock itself and set alarm after a period of time with doors unlocked.
Service
Not fair really to criticise the manufacturer, as most of my problems have been with the dealership's lack of customer service.
