    Costs

    Brilliant ecomony (55mpg) but parts are expensive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Hoot to drive round town. Noisy on motorway.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    0-60 good for a 1.0. Great 2nd gear. Loses puff on motorway, though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Pretty good, but needs looking after. A bit fragile at times.

    Good handling, even when loaded and pushed to the the limit.

    Security

    None, but what do you expect in a budget supermini?

    Not very helpful in getting the radio out.
