Overall reliability

Compact, comfortable, nippy, reliable second car local runabout but good for a few hundred mile drives.

Charming looks, inside and outside, a little too compact for adult rear seat passengers, but rear safety being uncertain in 2/3 door cars, in our view, we do not usually use them.
An easy driving and parking run about, good as a second car for family use.
Nippy enough and, with rear seats unoccupied, space for luggage for 2 on a weekend trip.
Reliable, for 5 years, except for an electronic failure of remote door locking mechanism, using keyless mode, though key still usable direct That fault, paid for by Warranty Direct insurance, cost over £700 to repair/replace the electronic box.

We plan to keep the car indefinitely, all remaining well, gifting it to our daughter if/when we change.
