    Got a good discount from dealer when new.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Been reasonable, but I hate to think what I would now get as trade in.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    An ideal car for nipping in and out of traffic.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Goes well for a 1200, but sounds a little course when driven hard - a 16v would suit me better.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For a small budget car, comfort and finish is really good.

    Only an immobiliser and remote locking, although the doors do relock if you take your time getting into the car after unlocking.

    Helpful, but I would say only average.
