    Bought privately for a bargain at £250!!

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Just cost me an exhaust (£70 for full length with 2 year guarantee) and two front tyres (£20 each). I'm getting a healthy 48mpg as well.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Absolute fun to drive and brings a smile to your face every time.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suprisingly spritely up to about 45mph. After that, performance drops a bit. Top speed is apparently 84mph, but I daren't venture far over 70mph!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Starts first time every time and runs so quietly.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I'm not bothered about image.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I've driven more comfortable cars, but it's by no means uncomfortable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I invested in a steering wheel shield, because the locks look vulnerable.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Very helpful.
