  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Thought about second hand, but new one was hardly any more. Will probably get hit by depreciation, though.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Good fuel consumption - 40mpg around town, and up to 60 or even 70 on a longer run.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rolls quite a lot on corners, but great on the motorway.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Plenty of strong pick-up in all gears.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I like the fact that there's nothing else like it.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    More steering adjustment would be good, but I like the high driving position, and it's fine on long journeys. Middle rear seat is the prime location as you can stretch your legs right out between the front seats (no gear stick there).
