    Cheap to buy and good for runaround. Good MPG.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quick little car, but has awful driving position with off-set pedals.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    1.1 engine revs well and is fast for 1.1. Will embarass some higher powered family cars, e.g. 2-litres.
