On the road
Driving
Sprightly handling offering good levels of grip and feedback. Ride height could have been 20-30 mills lower, had this done myself.
Performance
75ps for a 1.4 is a bit disappointing, does 115mph though. The 1.0 must be a dog.

Living with it
Reliability
More faults then you'd expect for a car of its age and mileage (48,000).
Image
Image is apparently not as good as a Peugeot 206, we strongly disagree.
Comfort
For the size of car it is exceptionally comfortable, even on regular commute between London and York.

Immobiliser good, could have done with an alarm as standard.
