    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent value for money.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very cheap to run; cheap insurance and cheap tax.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only 4 gears. Not that fast. Visibility is not that good. After having a bigger car, I found it hard to adjust to the small, low windscreen.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quite sluggish on hills.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Extremely reliable. Always starts first time.

    Mine has alloys and a spoiler and I think it looks ok. Standard model is a bit basic.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Never had any problems, but don't use it for long journeys.

  • Security and Service

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never used the manufacturer.
