    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

  • Driving it

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What's it like to drive?

    This car is spoiled by a hairline jerky throttle response especially when cold and when the air conditioning is on its a lot worse. For a 1.2 8 valve engine throttle pick up is rubbish but on the other hand will cruse at 70 no trouble.

    What's it like to park?

    No problem easy.
