Ok for a 1.3i, is rather slow accellerating from 60 onwards in 5th gear. Suspension is very baggy, but grips to the road very well.

Reliability
Haven't had the car very long, but no problems yet.
Image
The front end is worst. It looks very cute and smooth. The rear end is better looking, epecially if you take the badges off the back.
Comfort
Very comfortable, even on long journeys.
