Good fuel consumption even with a lot of right foot!

On the road
Driving
Firm to harsh ride that gives confidence. Has a tendency to skip when cornering and accelerating hard. Brakes could do with more pull.
Performance
Tends to be a little flat until you breach 3000rpm, then all hell lets loose. Nice for quick bursts in 2nd. 3rd gear is a little long. Car feels good at 80-100mph - surprising for such a small car.

Reliability
Mine was a bit of a shed I"m afraid. New shocks, cat, exhaust back box, wing mirror, door stay and central locking motor all needed in the first month! Not to mention that pesky rough idling problem.
Image
Doesn"t look like a girl"s car - unlike the standard models. Understated but potent looking.
Comfort
Pedals way too close together (do all French have midget feet?). Difficult rear seat access. Speed ramps are a teeth-rattling experience (the price to pay for the handling, I suppose.)
