Huge fun! Modern Hot Hatches aren't even close!

8v is very torquey. Top end's pretty good too!

Living with it
Reliability
Mine has 161,000 miles on the clock and it's faultless - starts first time every time; just keeps going.
Image
They always seem to get noticed - understated class.
Comfort
Ride can be a little harsh, but the seats are superb - ergonomics good too.

Security and Service
Security
Terrible as standard!
Service
For the odd occasion that I have had to use the main dealers, they've been pretty good.
