    Very good ride. Sticks to the road.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Doh! Must use high revs most of the time to get good performance and engine finally suffers! (It's not a Jap!) Cannot beat a simple Astra 1.4 at any level!

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Got engine problem about once a year. Good when correctly serviced, but Japs or other European equivalents much better.
