Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Expensive, but very reliable and a general feeling of quality build.
Costs
Ok fuel consumption (40mpg if driven carefully), insurance quite high, get it serviced at a non main dealer though!

On the road
Driving
Good handling, but steering geared too low. Easy clutch, solid gear change.
Performance
No pull at mid revs, but keep going all the way to the red line and power is impressive for a 1.4, and the exhaust sounds good too!

Living with it
Reliability
The important bits seem very well put together. No problems so far.
Image
Old persons car (500 - 2500rpm) or a great choice to be modified by a boy-racer (likes to be above 5000rpm). Dash is ok, but trim looks rubbish.
Comfort
Suspension quite firm, but dampers seem to work well. Seats are pretty good
