Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Fairly good equipment for what it costs with air con and electric windows and mirrors.
Costs
Quite thirsty for its size if you want to get any sort of performance out of it.

On the road
Driving
Bland and unenjoyable steering offers no feedback at all feels fairly flat around the corners but doesn't inspire confidence definitely an around town car and not a keen drivers car.
Performance
Weak engine only performs when revved to extremities however this causes the most appalling torque steer (this shouldn't happen with this small amount of power) which causes the car to try and pull quite violently to the left.

Living with it
Reliability
The accelerator has a habit of getting stuck in, the only way to deal with this is to put the clutch in and stop then get down into the foot well and prize it back out.
Image
looks like some sort of A class mongrel cross.
Comfort
Seats are a bit on the firm side cabin is not a particularly nice place to be its ugly and the hard plastics exude a cheapness like something out of poundstrecher.

Security and Service
Security
remote locking with alarm and deadlocks should do a reasonable job although thankfully they have not been tested.
