    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very boring to drive, feels like a tin can. Steering Wheel was off center, so provided confusion with my partner driving it.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Accelerated fairly quickly, though nothing too pleasing. Very loud at higher speeds.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Fuel leak within a month of purchasing, which took a week to resolve. Exceptionally low oil levels kept occurring, which was not resolved. Fuel sender unit and steering wobble was sorted under warranty.

    Definately a car for the fairer sex, but if it does the job, who cares, right?

    Adequate comfort. Audio system is uninspiring and boring.
