    Cheap to buy, but works out a false economy on parts!

  • On the road

    Driving

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Awful. I've had more fun pushing lawnmowers round large gardens. No driving pleasure here.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Gutless. Can be dangerous when trying to overtake on the motorway or pulling out of junctions.

    Has wrecked my image! Looks okay, I suppose.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Okay when going to the supermarket. Awful on long journeys.

    Immobilizer keeps packing up, but then; who's going to nick this?!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Terrible. I'd never touch Henry Ford's blue oval cars ever again.
