  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No fancy bits - window winders, manual steering... proper car.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Light body means not much power is wasted. Will run out of steam when you hit 5th gear.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Just can't kill it!

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Looks good considering its age. The boot with seats down will swallow everything.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats lacking in padding. Legroom available in front or back seats only - bit of a squeeze!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What security? The only good thing is - not many people want to nick it :)
