    I have done 24,000 miles this year. On a steady run, 50mpg. Thrash it and it still gives 40 - 42.

    Handles very well, if you can stand the body roll it sticks very well.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suprisingly quick if you rev it hard. 6th gear is for economy only.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very good. It slipped three teeth on the timing belt and still drove ok.
