    Value

    Cost me more than I'd have liked, but they are dirt cheap nowadays.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Parts are pricey. Having said that, it's been fairly trouble free for ages. All the problems have involved wheels and suspension.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great to drive. Flies around bends. Bigger turning circle than you'd expect, but great fun.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I really don't think it's that bad! Spend extra on the 1.4, it's miles ahead of the 1.2

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Height adjustable seat, but still too high for me. Steering wheel doesn't adjust. But, I've been in worse. Try before you buy!
