Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Alright for the price I paid.
Costs
Parts are pretty cheap and quite readily availible, but thats a good thing because you will need lots of them. Uses far too much petrol, 25-27mpg on a short run.

On the road
Driving
Generally nice to drive in the dry, can snap out in the wet if your not careful.
Performance
Reasonably quick due to lightness and the gearbox having short ratios, this is bad for fuel economy and the car does not take to being filled with people.

Living with it
Reliability
Has never failed to start but it constantly has stuff going wrong with it.
Image
Nice looking car although it has a bit of a chavvy image.
Comfort
Awful for taller people, little headroom, my head is against the sunroof, I cannot shut the visor over it. Hard seats and very noisy.

Security and Service
Security
No one has tried but the code start thing doesn't work and the alarm is all show and no go (it flashes the lights but still lets you start the car and drive off with it going).
Service
Only used them once or twice and they seemed to be fine.
