    Good, smooth gearchange, light controls. (Except steering).

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suprising for 1.5 - feels as quick as 1.8 Cavalier I owned.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It always goes, but its got a real problem with cold/wet mornings where it will shudder for 10 mins until it warms up. This is embarrasing when you can't get past 40mph on the twin-laners.

    Not much, but then neither do I, so where's the problem?

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems, quite low-slung compared to previous cars. Materials cheap but OK.
