  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good car for the money, but comes with no nice extras.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cheap to insure, purchase parts and get serviced.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very straightforward and fun to drive, but extremely cheap and tinny feeling. Handles well and feels like a bigger car. Becomes very boring, very quickly. Lack of equipment makes driving a real chore and such hard work. Basic 2 speaker stereo inadequate.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Sluggish and frustrating when pulling away from the lights. Surprisingly bad for a 1.3i in such a small body.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Starts first time, every time.

    Nice and quirky but I found it to be embarrassing to be seen in as a man!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good for the size (in the back and front) but seats rather hard. Comfort surprisingly good for 4 adults on a long journey.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Immobiliser as standard.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0
