  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A bargain at £650.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Mostly due to its age - but has cost a bit in maintenance.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I prefer diesels, so I think this is very nice to drive.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not the fastest thing on the road; reliable rather than flashy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Hasn't let me down yet. Fingers crossed.

    Image

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Funky, different, but image isn't my thing with cars.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Takes a while to warm up on a cold day, but otherwise great.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not really an issue with a 15 year old car...

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I go to a private garage, not the manufacturer.
