Fun to drive in town but struggling uphill, even for the motorway.

As expected for 900cc car. Rattles from dashboard and door irritates.

Living with it
Reliability
The radiator seems to rust easily (compared with other reviews too).
Image
Looks boxy but fun.
Comfort
Get backache after more than two hours drive. But you can't expect too much from a basic car.

Security and Service
Security
Someone tried to break in as they saw the door had been tempered. But overall won't attract too much attention to be stolen.
