    Very basic car, but can be picked up for about £1k so pretty good value.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles quite well, though steering can feel a bit "lazy".

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fairly nippy around town, adequate at higher speeds but always feels a bit pushed at 70mph+

  • Living with it

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not a bad looking little car, nice metallic blue.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Noisy at motorway speed, offset pedals take some getting used to. Not ideal for long journeys or 3+ people.

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No immobiliser, basic locks, but not exactly a high risk car.

    2 out of 5 2.0
