Parking brings me out in a sweat but good once on the road!
Performance
Suspension leaves a lot to be desired! Quite nippy and fun to drive for a 1.1.

Living with it
Reliability
Never 'broken down' on me yet, the fan belt went a year ago as did the rear arm of the suspension. Other than that... a generally reliable little runner.

Although starting to look slightly dated, I much prefer the older model to the new ones!
Comfort
For quite a small person of 5""4 it was quite a struggle to reach the pedals but the height adjustment on the seats helped a great deal. comfortable at a certain height!

Security and Service
Security
Was easily broken into with a screwdriver on the passenger side, lock was damaged beyond repair but the car was still there when I returned, at least. Cost to repair the dent damage cost more than the value of items stolen!!
