Economy
Value
I paid 500 quid, excellent value. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Costs
Cheap to buy, cheap parts. Hasnt broken down in the last year ive had it and has cost me very little. Good fuel economy too.

On the road
Driving
It goes and stops. Gets from A to B... eventually.
Performance
Good at 30mph on the flat with no passengers. Hills are a nightmare and motorways are avoided where possible. I keep my foot firmly on the floor at all times. Im told the 1.2 model is much better, but i was restricted by insurance costs. Overall: Rubbish.

Living with it
Reliability
Very basic car, not much to go wrong. Always starts. Never let me down. Best thing going for it.

Did I mention fuel economy?
Comfort
You get what you pay for. Its a cheap, no thrills car. Not very comfortable, especially at speed but very spacious for a small car, front and rear. Im 6ft 3 and I have loads of room to drive.

Security and Service
Security
Non existent. Thieves wouldnt bother.
Service
I bought some Nissan windscreen wipers once. Not really in a position to make judgment.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Works a treat. No problems so far.
Other
Great for a cheap car to drive around locally at low speeds. Feels like its gonna roll over on every corner. I have to thrash it really hard to get anywhere, even then its perfromance is pretty poor. Good first car, cheap insurance.

Used
Would you buy the same model again?
No
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
