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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent used prices. Bought 3 years old at 3rd of the price.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Fuel getting 34mpg easily, BUT servicing very expensive. Non-standard spark plugs platinum tipped. New exhaust 180 quid etc...

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Sharp round the bends, but motorways are hard work - not meant for cruising.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ok, not enough in the mid range for overtaking. Needs to be at 4000rpm plus for anything exciting.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Always starts and nothing major has let me down. All just wear and tear. Service it properly and you should be fine. NEVER let it run out of petrol as can damage injectors - expensive to fix. Rear washer will let you down at some point but DIY fix easy.

    Understated boy racer. Even though it's getting on a bit, it's easy on the eye.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Pretty apalling. Ok for short journeys, but will give you back ache over 100 miles! BUT driver's seat adjustment good. Unbelieveable amount of squeaks and rattles drives you insane!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No one's stolen it, but reckon it wouldn't be hard for a seasoned thief. So flimsy.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Avoided main dealer as out of warranty. Local specialist first class.
