Very fun to drive anywhere.
Performance
Very nippy and agile for a 1.1, even if it is only 55BHP, quick through the gears.

Living with it
Reliability
Rear trailing arms needed replacing, apart from that it's been very good.
Image
Still a great looking car even now, looks young for its age still.
Comfort
Needed to get new pair of rear trailing arms, but after that a firm ride and comfy seats.

Security and Service
Security
Got a Stoplock, could have done with a better immobiliser, doesn't seem that thug-proof.
Service
Hasn't needed sevicing yet, can't comment.
