    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A bit spongey suspension but still nice to drive.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Can't beat 103bhp from a 1.4. A lot quicker than the average 1.4 like a Polo or sumthing.

    Never let me down.

    Bit of a grandad car, but when I had it lowered with 17" alloys, no-one could really argue.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Half leather with a sort of bucket effect.
