On the road
Driving
Excellent for town use, comfy & confident. OK on the motorway but a bit hairy at high speed bends or overtaking at speed (too light).
Performance
Excellent for a 1.3 of this size & shape. Good acceleration, 100 mph top speed.

Living with it
Reliability
Bullet-proof! If you can find a well serviced example, buy it with confidence.
Image
If you are a saddo who needs an image, you won't be reading this review. Its a mini-MPV for gods sake.
Comfort
Good head & leg room front & back, nice seats but velour would be better than the fabric which is standard across the range.
-
Security and Service
Security
Don't know really, deadlocks and immobiliser as standard, but hardly on the joy riders hit list.
Service
Never dealt with main dealer, there is nothing alien about this car that an independent dealer couldn't deal with.
