    Lots of kit comes with the car. Watch out for heavy depreciation.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Fuel economy is good but more thirsty than you think for a 1.2. Constant repairs could get costly.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Smooth to drive, sport suspension means that you feel the road bumps though.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    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.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

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