    Driving

    Ok around town and on shorter journeys, felt very twitchy on the motorway. Front end tends to drift about a lot, keeps you on your toes.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    It's like going back to a small car 30 years ago... Pokey little engine is far too underpowered for the car, very loud at anything over 60.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Air filter kept falling off and engine in general seems very poorly put together and cheap.
