Cheap to service, cheap to repair, cheap to run, cheap, cheap, cheap!

On the road
Driving
All round good driver, nice light steering. Doesn't corner too well, especially in the wet.
Performance
Goes ok. Have to rev it a bit to get it going though. Considering it's a 1.25, it's doing well.

Living with it
Reliability
I had mine 20 months, put 37k miles on it and had no problems with it.
Image
Bit girly, but who cares when looking for economy? More manly than a Ka though, hehe.
Comfort
Quite noisey. Little legroom in the back, especially if driver is 6ft like me.

Security
No-one stole mine, but I wouldn't imagine they'd be too hard to steal.
