Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I paid £500 for an N-plater with 68k on the clock £400 to put it through MOT and tidy the body up. Should be good for another 60k miles.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    See above not had anything go wrong yet - replaced one front tyre, that's all in last 5k miles.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Goes quite well handling and brakes a bit dubious in the wet.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Engine pulls well but only above 3000 revs, needs to be pushed to get the best out of it.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems as yet starter makes a strange noise but don't know if this is a design issue.

    Old man? Not exactly the stereotype boy racer, anyway...

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats okay but poor lumbar support haven't tried sitting in the back but the legroom looks poor if front seats are pushed well back.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Factory alarm and immobiliser, remote central locking. Left it unlocked by the roadside and no-one touched it anyway!

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No experience of main dealer service so can't comment
