Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Great value. Good package when bought new.
Costs
Petrol (obviously), windscreen wipers and an indicator bulb. That's all really.

On the road
Driving
Neutral handling, not bad for a small car.
Performance
Suprisingly nippy for a 1.0. Can't complain.

Living with it
Reliability
Like a vehicular swiss watch. One indicator bulb went and that's it in all the time we've had it and it's now done 21,000. Brilliant.
Image
People who aren't in the know rate it as a shopper's car. Utter rubbish! Great car if you give it a chance.
Comfort
Seats a bit firm, but equally as good for long and short journeys.

Security and Service
Security
In-built immobiliser. Not the most wanted of vehicles by the light-fingered brigade.
Service
Now use independant as car is out of warranty. Not a problem though.

Engine
Diamond. No problems at all. Nippy and responsive for a 1.0, frugal too.

Just 'does what it says on the can'. Very easy to live with. Just don't buy a purple one!
