Economy
Value
I have to give it 5 stars as I only paid 400 quid for it.
Costs
Good fuel economy, but lots of niggly problems.

On the road
Driving
I love driving this car. For a little 1.3i it really does perform well compared to other 1.3 and 1.4's.
Performance
For a 1.3 it really is up there at the top of it's rivals. The Ford Escort and Vauxhall Astra 1.3 would not stand a chance in a race (off road of course).

Living with it
Reliability
Japanese engineering. Need I say more?
Image
Stand this car next to an Escort, or an Astra, or a Peugeot etc… it always looks good.
Comfort
very roomy, but thin seats and doors. A very bumpy ride gives a sporty feel to the car. No real luxuries, but do you want a car to drive, or do you want the car to drive you?

Security
