    Ride can be rough - but handling is superb. Difficult to drive smoothly in low gears.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Engine very willing, doesn't show its age at all. Quite a sporty drive.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Had this for three years, and it's had an exhaust and a pair of CV rubber boots. This car is nearly ten years old and shows no signs of rolling over and dying!!!

    You don't drive a ten-year old car and care about image. You just gloat at the bargain you've got.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Poor ride, a bit noisy. Plenty of room.
