I have had this car for almost nine years with only minimal problems. The maintenance has consisted of new tires and battery only. It does what I need it to do, get me back and forth with no problems.

Performance- Has pretty good acceleration for a 4 cylinder and good handling! The ride is a little crashy but nothing not to expect with an economy car. The braking is ok but the petal feels spongy with too much travel. Build Quality- Has decent build quality although it is very cheaply built. The dash as nice "soft" plastics and the rest of the car is bare bones essentials. Repairs are minimal and only appear after ample wear to the part. The car is very reliable. Appearence- I personally think the car looks kinda of angry and when lowered the car has an aggressive stance. Nice look over all. Interior is nothing flashy but gets the job done! Cost of ownership-This car is great on gas averaging around 39 mpg (Imp) or 32 mpg (US). Costs under $40 to fill up from empty. Maintenance is cheap and all the parts are in-expensive. Very easy to maintain. Fun Factor- This car is a blast to drive with the right upgrades. I have a couple upgrades on mine: Escort GT rear sway bar, front and rear strut bars, short shifter, zx2 front seats, Weapon R cold air intake, and a beautiful sounding Magnaflow muffler.

Best £800 I ever spent, Its got PS, EW, RCL, SR, Heated Front Screen, 1.8 115ps (standard form) engin plus more. Its been ever so slightly modded since Ive had it though, its now got the following; Full RS2000 Body Kit GTI 15" alloys Plasma Glow Dials Full Sound System GTI Half-Leather Interior DVD player Smoked Headlights One-off modded rear light clusters Full PowerFlow Exhaust system -40mm GMAX shocks and springs. All in all, its a bargain.. it handles exceptionally well, the bright white paint turns heads and its performance is enough to see off most cars, even bigger engined ones.

When I settled on a school in a big city, I went looking for a good used car that would be ideal for that. And I found what I was looking for. The car has a 16 Valve, 2.0 L engine, despite being a little over 2000 lbs, so it has a lot of pick-up. Fits into a lot of tight spaces and handles well around curves. Very reliable engine. The biggest expense so far is getting an O2 sensor.
