It feels like you are going fast, but then you look and you are only doing 30mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. Started first time all the time.
Image
The previous owner gave me driving gloves, a wooly hat and a cat.
Comfort
A fairly comftable car with good front seats. You seem to sit really high and you do think you could hit you head on the roof. It is a small car, though.

Security and Service
Security
Quite poor. It does not feel any different from the original Metros back in the 80s. The central locking never worked on all the doors.
