    5 out of 5 5.0

    Good value for money - a budget banger!

    Cheap to run. Excellent fuel economy - can get 60mpg with a light right foot.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Handles well, but steering is heavy and engine is noisy at high speeds.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fairly quick despite no turbo, but needs pushing hard - especially when tackling hills.
