Economy
Value
Bought the car from an importer at a big discount. Should hold its value well.
Costs
Insurance, fuel and road tax are all cheap. This is a really cheap car to run and look at the performance.

Driving
Enormous torque makes driving great fun. Slight problems putting the power down in the wet or damp and the traction control doesn't control it.
Performance
Smoother than a 150 and chips up to 170 with no loss of economy. That makes it serious fun and I'm assured by a specialist fitter that it won't reduce the engine life noticably.

Living with it
Reliability
Not even a little rattle or squeek!
Image
Sports pack, nice alloys and tinted lenses. Even my 17 year old thinks it's cool.
Comfort
Quality fit and finish.
