Economy
Value
Got it for £500 quid so great! Get them while you can!
Costs
Costs a bit if you drive like a mad man or have points (hurts insurance costs), but if your sensible it's OK.

Driving
Love it. Better then other reviews make out. I'm going to keep it till its a classic!
Performance
So far fantastic, quick , starts every time, corners well and unlike some mine seems smooth over the ton.

Living with it
Reliability
Great electrics can be confusing but usually just be a fuse or bulb.
Image
Stunning! Soon be a classic, pure retro sport chic and a nice long bonnet.
Comfort
Very comfortable and the under seat heating is great in the winter, full electrics (windows, mirrors, sun roof, on board computer).
