Reliability
Never failed me. Drive it carefully and the parts will last donkey's years.
Image
Cute, but looks dated. For her age she is a looker.

I avoid long distances. Next time I'm going to buy a better equipped version.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Remarkably good, if a little noisy. Be aware of over heating and head gaskets. Never actually failed to start but takes a bit if ticking over and warming up in the cold.
Other
Great little car. I love mine, I'm going to be sorry to replace her. However try avoid crashing it because no matter what you hit, you will come off worse. Also be aware of minor electrical faults, certain internal and external lights blow bulbs readily.
Ownership
