Economy
Value
Good value car for preformance.
Costs
Cheap to run! Parts, fuel, oil etc! But you need to be a lottery winner to pay the insurace!!! Eats inside of tyres!!

On the road
Driving
Ride very harsh! This car could do with traction control in the wet, as you can spin the wheels in 4th gear!
Performance
Lots of powers from 1.8 engine! Just a shame its all lost in wheel spin! More traction needed in the wet!

Living with it
Reliability
Bought mine with 74K on the clock. Hammered it for 4 years now. At 120K and never let me down yet! More solid than people say!
Image
Looked good in its day, but now looking like a little boys car! Still turns heads though!!
Comfort
Small pot-holes are like driving over a 5 inch kerb! This car will have you in traction!! Nice on a silky smooth road though!! I have resorted to letting air out of the tyres to sofen the ride.
