Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Looks good inside, but lots of irritating rattles and not exactly the greatest build quality, but I would have been more than happy with what I got for the money if it wasn't for the deteriation of the clutch and gears
Costs
Average insurance, costs about £50 each time I fill the tank up out of which I normally get at least 400 miles

On the road
Driving
Superb when you are just using the high gears (or not chaning gear at all) ,but not much fun to drive around town and with its super heavy clutch it can actually get physically painful when crawling in traffic!
Performance
Great engine, lots of power.

Living with it
Reliability
One fuel leak which cost £300 to fix and a new clutch at 40,000 miles, but otherwise no problems
Image
I was never ashamed to be seen in it
Comfort
Very nice semi-leather trim, good range of manual adjustment on drivers seat, bit noisy on the motorway
