Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Spot on - especially with the servicing included.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So good so far.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    With only 800ccs, it is ok - the injection helps you annoy BMW drivers, but nothing special.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    50mpg easy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Had a few niggles - exhaust keeps getting scrap damage, alternator failure and starting problems.

    Got the green one - would have preferred the blue. Looks ok, though.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    If you have two 'large' people in the front, gear changing can be quite tricky, and rude!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    It locks. So did my old Cortina! Been stolen twice.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    In 3 years, they have gone down - long waits if you want a hire car off them and very reluctant to do anything other than a normal service. Takes ages to book the car in once you get there.
