Reasonably comfortable for a small car. Could do with a little more lumbar support on long journeys.

The lack of punch from the 1.2 can get frustrating after a while.

Living with it
Reliability
Awful. Has let me down three times now. Coil pack has expired twice and the alternator drive belt failed due to oil contamination from a faulty oil seal. The most unreliable car I've ever had - and I've driven some rubbish!!
Image
It's a cheap and cheerful runabout.
Comfort
See driving comments.
