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

Economy
Value
Not bad at all. It's kept its value quite well since I bought it 4 years ago.
Costs
Averages about 40mpg. Rarley needs oil. Tyres and brakes not required very often either. All parts are very reasonably priced.

On the road
Driving
Overall quite reasonable. Handling and seating position is excellent. However, gear change can be tough in traffic at times and the pedals are close together which can prove awkward.
Performance
Poor. Frustratingly slow at times, although is quite good for nipping into small spaces in traffic! Needs thrashing to get half decent acceleration. (0-60 approx 18 secs top speed approx 95 mph!)

Living with it
Reliability
Not bad. Done mileage of approx 90k and engine still in good condition (again I'll touch wood)! The battery can be problemeatic in very damp weather however and needed a new exhaust and starter motor (but for 90k that's not bad)!
Image
Not bad at all, very studenty though! Also, don't try to race anyone because you will look like a prat!
Comfort
Quite good as a driver, no complaints. Rear space for passengers is quite poor though! No luxuries included!

Security and Service
Security
Not had any trouble with thieves (touch wood) but there's not much resistance if thieves were to want it! Best bet to use a steering-wheel lock of some sort!
Service
Self-serviced.
