    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Took it for a test drive, finding everything was where I expected it even though it was all on the opposite sides from my previous car.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The acceleration is surprisingly lively for an auto and usually leaves me grinning and boy racers in their Saxos standing at the light.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems so far, but bought it because it is Japanese and has good reputation.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It does look like a minicab inside and out, but then if you're worried about image you modify it.

    Good seats with plenty of adjustment.

    Walked in to the dealer and told them what we wanted, they happened to have one just in which had not yet been prepped for forecourt, we made them an offer and got it then and there at a bargain price.
