Driving
Very difficult to drive quickly in anything but a straight line. Not bad on motorway though - likes the flat best.
Performance
1.6 engine makes you wince when starting off at roundabouts etc - much too slow - sometimes you could pedal faster.

Has been very reliable over 3 years, although it's only covered 17000 miles.
