Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Lots of kit comes with the car. Watch out for heavy depreciation.
Costs
Fuel economy is good but more thirsty than you think for a 1.2. Constant repairs could get costly.

On the road
Driving
Smooth to drive, sport suspension means that you feel the road bumps though.
Performance
Very nippy around town and at lower speeds. Slow to accelerate but gets there eventually. A bit more punch would be nice. Go for the 1.4.

Reliability
Plagued with different problems. Mainly engine coils needed replacing after 20K. Made 6 warranty claims in as many months.

Beautiful looking car. Shame that they are so common now.
Comfort
Really comfy for short journeys although bucket seats give you back a cheat 100 miles +
