    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Few things gone wrong (exhaust, fanbelt). Nothing too serious, though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Front end is heavy when cornering. Spongy suspension. No thrills really.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Gets noisy on motorway when screaming for a fifth gear. Poor acceleration. Doesn't like hills.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    As above, exhaust, fanbelt and some dodgy electrics caused me a few problems, but mine's done 112,000 miles!

    It's a woman's car really. Have a paper bag handy.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Comfy seats. No aches or pains, but it's a slightly hard ride.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No one's tried. Can't imagine they would want to, but I could steal it myself easily if I wanted to.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Can't really comment.
