Cheap and cheerful to run. Rarely go wrong.

Not bad. Decent power but little fun.
Performance
1.6 does go, but makes a bit of noise about it.

Living with it
Reliability
Very good. Small problems like lights/switches etc but nothing major.
Image
Not a piss-take motor, rather a "what is that?" motor!
Comfort
Not bad, fairly roomy.

Security and Service
Security
Poor but not known for being stolen.
Service
Usually find your problem. Biggest issue is that the franchises are shared with Mazda etc so don't always get specialist service.
