    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought for my children as low insurance and had FSH. Was cheap as bought through trade for £800 with only 26k miles on clock (06/2003).

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Too early to comment, however should be cheaper than a Corsa/Clio, the other alternatives.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Steering wheel too low, but once you get used to splayed legs, the performance and the handling are excellent, especially at 45mpg!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not fast, but very adequate for what it is.

    Sore back after a 400 mile trip. Short runs great.
