Value
I got given mine but they're cheap 'n' cheerful.
Costs
Bits are fairly cheap, but not so much so on diesels.

On the road
Driving
Great town car, but iffy in the wet.
Performance
Not too bad. I thrash my 1.4 for every bit of its 52bhp.

Living with it
Reliability
21,000 miles of thrash in the past year and no worries.
Image
I like mine anyway. Apparently it's cute.
Comfort
Great front seats, but seven is a squash! (done it!)

Security and Service
Security
Ok for an old car with perimeter alarm, but needs immobiliser.
Service
They'll rip you off left right and center. Fix it at home.
