  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For the price, you can't beat it. Problem free motoring for pittance.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very rarely go wrong and don't cost too much when they do.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not actually that bad. Steering too light though.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Underestimated. 1.5 engine knows what it's doing.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have known them do 300k miles. This did 120k and no hint of a problem. Original 'box, engine, everything!

    Ok when they were launched, sold like hotcakes. Don't age well. Few good ones left. Great to own though.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Short on room, but not bad.

  • Security and Service

    Poor, but hardly a target for thieves.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great, but no dealers left! A fantastic company though, really knew how to treat customers.
