  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ok value for money.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only insurance GRP 4, which is good as I'm only 20.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellend drive, superb grip.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good for a 1.4. Lacks tourqe, though, and is poor if the car is full. But if you're on your own it can easily achieve 0-60 in about 10secs.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ok (touch wood).

    People who don't know cars seem to like it? T**s in Saxos take the piss. I like its styling.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ok, I'm 6' 4", so anyone who sits behind me has an uncomfortable ride.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Immobiliser, but vulnerable.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Vauxhall seem to rip me off, especially on styling parts.
