Steering very light, not enough grip in wet conditions

For a 1.4 16v this car is quite nippy, don't expect rapid acceleration as it's a small engine ,but considering the size of the engine i was pleasantly surprised

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Both cam and auxilliary belt tensioners went. Car stalls randomly
Other
All in all a good car for the more laid back driver, for me not sprty enough, but would recommend to the more senior drivers. Good fuel economy I get about 45 mpg even when I work the engine. Cheap insurance..group 4
