Driving
Good on motorway for such a small car. Roly poly ride lets it down elsewhere. Sea sickness!
Performance
1.4 mighty quick and feels happy carrying 4 people on the motorway. Wheelspin always never far away with 75BHP for a small car!

Living with it
Image
Lime Green was a bad choice of colour. Muted colours are best unless you're a girli. I've had so much verbal abuse and stuff thrown at my car. I've had enough!
Comfort
Very Smooth, refined engine and build quality. Outclasses bigger cars for refinement. Suspension too roly-poly and doesn't like potholes.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser and a red flashing light - but radioactive green colour of my car is a deterrent enough. Don't buy this colour - hard to re-sell.
