On the road
Driving
Slow, handles like a pram. I hate it. Gearchange is particularly awful. Brakes tend to lock up too easily aswell.
Performance
Poor compared to other 1.0L's I driven. Feels strained at 70 mph, but will do 80 if you can stand it. Standing starts difficult, either bogs down or spins wheels.

Living with it
Reliability
Actually not that good, had difficult to trace starting problem, big headache. Turned out to be ignition barrel, but took Nissan dealer a while to find.
Image
Very bad if you're a bloke.
Comfort
Excellent refinement for small car (as long as you don't go over 65mph), reasonable space, good seats.

Security and Service
Security
None. Put anything of value in the boot. Unlikely target for joy riders though.
Service
Pretty good on whole, cheap costs and courtesy car provided for service. Didn't fix starting problem first time though and a part I ordered never seemed to arrive.
