Not bad. Tends to understeer and quite a lot of body roll.
Performance
1.2 8v engine a little underpowered in the nex bodyshell. Suspect a bit heavier than the last one.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time, every time.
Image
A very modern looking car and well designed compared to Fords, VW's, etc.
Comfort
For an entry level car very good. Head and leg room are great. Like a TARDIS, small on the outside but big on the inside.

Security and Service
Security
Built in immobiliser and microchip keys offer good protection, though can't see anyone wanting to steal ours!
Service
Friendly sales staff and very efficient.
