    Mini Cooper is a much better buy for similar money!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    MPG is ok. New Tyres cost a bomb and it goes through brakes very quickly.

    Good grip but steering can be twitchy at speed. Tail end very twitchy when pushed.

    Performance

    Great! The 1.6 16v goes like a train. The brakes are fantastic!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Awful! Engine cuts out randomly, even at motorway speeds. Dealer can not fix problem after 18 months of trying!

    Looks fantastic with the GTi body kit on! But what good is image when the engine can make it undriveable?

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very nice seats but you sit far too high up and peddles are set awkwardly. Great headroom!
