Driving
Good firm drive if perhaps a little too firm at times.

Yes, it's only a 1.2, but you would be hard pressed to find a faster one!

Living with it
Reliability
Have had problems from day 1 with a niggling airbag problem. Mechanically, no problems at all.

A good looking car. Best in Broom Yellow.
Comfort
Seats supportive and firm - lots of room in the back for its class.

Security and Service
Security
A good standard immobiliser - never had an alarm fitted, luckily no problems to date.
Service
Was recalled due to potentially faulty brake pipes - shame they forgot to re-attach them after inspection!
