Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Got a good deal. There's plenty about, so you can haggle the dealer.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cheap and cheerful. Bit like the French, really.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Smooth and easy ride slow. Good fun when you push it, too.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Stomps all over my old man's brand new 1.3i Ka, so can't be bad.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Just little bits that seem to need to be done, like most cars this age now I suppose.

    With a nice set of fat alloys on, I still look at myself in the reflections of shop windows and go "damn my car looks good".

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I could fall asleep in these seats, they're as soft as my bed.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Well I've got an immobiliser, but I live out in the sticks, so who needs security here?

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Too expensive for what is really just a cheap run-about.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Small problem with power loss in the wet with the wipers on, but doesn't stop it going.

    Other

    The back windscreen wiper only works 1/2 the time and I think water coming in at the sunroof has knocked out the remote central locking, but as I've not seen a leak I assume the previous owner left the roof open one night and it got drenched.

    Ownership

    Did you buy the car new?

    Used

    Would you buy the same model again?

    Yes

    Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?

    Yes
