    Cheap to buy and most Mettys are group 4.

    Clutch can be harsh, but nice seats and comfy to drive.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For a 1.1, pretty good. My first car and it cruises at 85/90 easily. Not a problem spinning the wheels if you want to either. Will take a 1.8 from an Elise/MGF, but get the GTi for that.

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I've never had a problem. Even after 7 months in a garage, it started without much trouble.

    Very underrated. Too many people laugh. Can be made to look better though.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Steering wheel maybe slightly to left of seat centre. Not quiet, but comfortable enough for long journeys.

    Security
