    Cheap transport, nothing more.

    1.9D is very slow but quite smooth engine for the age of the design.

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Engine and bodywork are OK, the problem is the electrical connectors and build quality which are appalling.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ride good, seat foam collapses though, very good sound proofing but cheap tyres and age take away some of the benefits.
