    This is my first car and I paid £350 second hand as it had a dent in the passenger door. Managed to knock the dent out, but car is not in the best shape.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Get about 50mpg, £40 to fill up. Brilliant!

    Driving

    Easy to drive with power steering. Nice gearbox. Handles well, even in the wet, sluggish with 5 people in.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Sluggish with 5 people in. Lack of acceleration in 3rd, slow up hills in 3rd, but goes well once you get up to speed. Performs well on the motorway.
