    Great value considering nothing ever needs done to it.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nothing goes wrong, so cheap from that point of view. Does 35mpg approx.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not the most comfy car, but is okay for a few hours.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very nippy around and about, due to light weight and 1300 engine. Goes well over 100mph on an autobahn and tows a small caravan adequately.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nothing goes wrong - passed all its MOTs with nothing more than a tyre here and there. This car is going to keep going forever!

    It is a cool little car - the suntop is great in the summer

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Firm, slightly jarring ride and a lot of engine and wind noise.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No alarm, deadlocks etc but I don't think anyone will want to break in!

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not had any dealings with them cos it doesn't go wrong!
