Good Points

has a big car feel on the inside
4th seat belt for baby seats
cheap on insurance
sporty on the inside ( dynamic & extreem model)
great looking car
cheap on tax
good fuel consumption
4 air bags
4 speaker cd/radio player
alloy wheels
front fogs
plastic body pannels which dont rot and make the car very light and nippy
easy to service the car your self
changing the timing belts easy
comftable to drive on motorways


Bad Points

poor designs when the car was put together
the bonnet catch corrodes and can open whilest driving the car (very dangerious)
sun roof rattles due to the frame is made out of plastic and breaks when the roof of the car flexes when driving
black box vibrates and cuts through the wiring loom at the back of the engine under the bonnet
the rear coil springs break
the front anti roll bar links break
the electric throttle body the choke unit sticks on and over fuels which can damage the catalyst converter
coil pack faults which causes missfires
breather pipe which is in the inlet manifold sucks up oil in the air box and causes a dirty throttle body
crank shaft positon sensor faults the car wont start at all just turns over
key faults the button which you press to open the car doors breaks off the circuit doard due to using no flux when soldered on
and the parts fot renualts are very expensive even if you dont get them from main dealers
