Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Quality and driving experience much better than you'd expect for the price.
Costs
Old engine means it's not as economical as you'd expect, but still pretty good.

On the road
Driving
Brilliant on country roads - eats corners. Steady on motorways. Poor acceleration can make overtaking dicey.
Performance
Acceleration is good up to 40mph, above that it struggles.

Living with it
Reliability
Front suspension needed fixing at 60000 miles, but that probably says more about my driving than the car.
Image
Nice looking, but don't expect any respect from White Van Man.
Comfort
Ride is firm but irons out bumps well. Front seats lack lumbar support back seats - forget it. Lots of road noise.
-
Security and Service
Security
I once left the keys in the door, and nobody stole it.
Service
Rep was pretty offhand when I took it in for a body repair.
