Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent. The LE comes with metallic paint, alloys(5!), CD player & spoiler as standard. It was the largest car boot in its class. Looks like LX only has rear electric windows & climate control different. Go for the LE!
Costs
Nothing so far.

Driving
Steering a little light on tight corners - otherwise fine.
Performance
Lively engine, although tends to over-rev a bit. Would have preferred 12v engine if available.

Reliability
No problems so far.

Absolutely fine.

Annoying that boot lock linked to central locking. In practice this means boot is open whilst car is being driven.
