    5 out of 5 5.0

    I stick £10 of diesel in a week and it gets me everywhere.

    Well to be honest, it's nothing mind-blowing, but it doesn't pretend to be. It does what it should - get me there happy and safely with some slight expediency (but not much!)

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    The torque on the diesel is useful when on hills, but other than that it's a bit slow. Still, with your foot flat, you cat get out of a dodgy situation or a junction if needs be.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    It's square.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Even with the seat fully back, my legs are a bit too long for the steering wheel to fit over me properly (so I drive nicely splayed) and getting into first requires me to end forward sometimes.

  • Security and Service

    Well it has locks - what more can I say? I have a crook lock (and a note in the glove box sayig "Hahaha you just stole a Fiat Uno")
