Small car with lots of space.

Sunroof traps water (can damage locking module). Trim falls apart, fuel consumption excellent.

On the road
Driving
Great fun. Takes corners with no problem. Seats lack support and driving position couldn't be worse if it tried.
Performance
Slow off the lights, but catches up in second and third.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Exhaust low, so vunerable to damage. Trim easy to break. Mechanicals appear to be bulletproof.
Image
Girly, but I can't tell it apart from a 106 from the side or back.
Comfort
Room in the front for tall people. Room for three average people in back if small people in the front. Nowhere to put rubbish, after a long journey with children the car needs a lot of cleaning.

Security
Immobiliser.
