    It is a good value car.

    Costs

    I tend to race her a bit so fuel economy is not that great. Parts are fairly easy to come buy.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A real pleasure to drive, she is light and responsive.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    She sails along, on motorway journeys I've had her past 120mph.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems so far, always fires up whether wet and cold or hot.

    Most people think it looks dated but I think she looks pretty good.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Long journeys can get uncomfortable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Strong door locks, but nothing else so I recommend fitting an alarm.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's not a new car, but the Proton garage has been very helpful.

    Problems with timing. Needs to be revved to get most performance from her.
