Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought second-hand. A real bargain.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Insurance is a bit steep (in Northern Ireland anyway!) Hard on fuel, especially when pushed.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Handles extremely well.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nothing much happens below 3000rpm. Get above that and the sound... marvellous. Still wish I'd bought a 2-litre!!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only had it 5 months so the jury is out.

    Just love opening the curtains in the morning to look at it!

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Driving seat has to be fully back for me (6 foot tall, so not a giant) Accelerator pedal is also really far forward. OK when you get used to it.
