On the road
Driving
Not bad for such a small car.
Performance
Responsive in lower gears, but struggles to keep up on the motorway. Good for a 1.1-litre.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems except on fuel-injected engines, which need running for a while - short trips do it no good.
Image
Mine has been lowered and has alloys on; image is not a problem - better than rivals such as Nova.
Comfort
Front is very spacious, though back is cramped.
-
Security and Service
Security
Later models come with alarm, but still not great.
Service
Did not recieve any.
