Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Paid £8,300 for a 7,000 miler down in Penzance. I think that's good value.
Costs
Costs are fair, nothing out of the ordinary.

On the road
Driving
Good all round vision. Nippy. Gearchange is a bit notchy.
Performance
16v engine is good, solid and revs well. Suspension needs to be a bit tighter.

Living with it
Reliability
So far, so good; nothing major has happened.
Image
The Italian styling is spot on. Metallic blue is the best colour!
Comfort
Could be better. Front seats could be a bit more sportier.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser is enough for car, but for improved security, an alarm needs to be fitted.
Service
36,000 mile service was a bit steep. Apart from that, ok.
