    5 out of 5 5.0

    I know this car'll work as and when I need it, unless the battery's dead…

    Image

    2 out of 5 2.0

    As a student image isn't important, but it's not as ugly as some of the new Fiats and Alfas I've seen!

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's pretty comfortable, the seats are okay and it's a good size.
