    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    This version was a bit basic. No a/ c, electric windows, or much else as standard features.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Servicing and maintenance is not cheap for a small car. Main dealers are very expensive. cambelt change at 59k miles at Mitsy dealer cost me £240! Maybe it's just London prices?

    gGeat for driving around town, just about copes on motorways. Steering is light and responsive

    It's not an Evo but that's not the reason you buy it. Handles well enough for everyday use

    Tall people may find the interior a little cramped, esp. in rear.
