    3 out of 5 3.0

    The quick shift gearbox drastically effects the performance of the 1.2 engine, making it very sluggish on acceleration.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very poor. The quickshift gearbox leaves a lot to be desired on reliability. My car has completed 12,000 miles and has had major gearbox faults. The fault lies in the automatic side of the gearbox rather than the manual.
