Yes! I have a 2004 model which is still going strong and has had minimal work done on it. No major parts have had to be replaced and it's been very reliable. The ride is comfortable and the steering is very precise. I use mine for daily commuting and longer leisure rides and it has put up with all sorts of weather!
My LBS (Whites in Bexleyheath) has the 2009 model in now and it looks very smart.
(BTW, my sis also got one from the LBS and it was built to her spec, ie., triple chainset, colour etc. Took a bit longer but it was well worth it for only a few extra quid for the gears).
