Economy
Value
It was a bargain private purchase with low mileage and no wear & tear. This is because of poor image, but don't be fooled.
Costs
Unfortunately 1.6 had poor fuel economy. The franchise dealer in Aberdeen was predictably pricey, but went to another small independent next service and did as good a job for half the price.

Driving
We thought this was a great car to drive. Good all round visibilty, totally reliable and the family loved it.
Performance
1.6 not really big enough for an estate.

Living with it
Reliability
Totally reliable. Nothing went wrong in four years.
Image
Nifty looking Italian estate, bit dated now perhaps, but who cares for the value?
Comfort
Very comfortable for both myself (tall) and my partner (small). Family thought it was great in the back. Lots of room.

C/ l did the job. Also not the most attractive car to local thieves.
