  • Economy

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cheap enough to run - as long as things don't go wrong!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The car handles well. You can throw it around a bit and it tends not to complain. Steering is heavy without PAS when you park it in tight places.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Sharp off the mark, but dies when you put it in 4th.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very reliable mechanically.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A good looking car in 3 door format. I would give it 5 if it wasn't for its 'grandad' image.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable car for a base model. Electric mirrors are a nice touch.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Door locks can be painful and have to be oiled regularly to avoid sticking.

    Local dealer friendly and helpful, but can be expensive.
