Good on fuel, but parts cost loads.

On the road
Driving
Like taking a yacht out on the road with no breeze to power it.
Performance
Some say they go ok, but i think they are too slow and under powered! 1.7 one would be ok.

Living with it
Reliability
Bullet proof car! Some small troubles, but i think that was due to the mileage.

Old man's car....... need i say more!
Comfort
Good spec for comfort even in the low spec modles.
