    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Little money will buy you a lot of car.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Genuine parts are expensive, most parts available from alternative sources. Very low fuel consumption if you don't drive it hard - I'm getting nearly 40 mpg.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent drive - very precise steering, handles exceptionally well, sporty suspension.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Exactly what I was looking for but has nothing to do with a sports car - just an every day car with a decent engine.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Air con packed up but due to high mileage (over 130K) I don't intend to fix it (uneconomical).

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Since I like a firm ride, the car is up to my expectations - but beware, the suspension is not soft - if you like soft, go for a Citroen.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fortunately no attempts to steal the car, otherwise it would probably get nicked easily like most cars...

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I avoid the main dealers
