Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I offered a below book bid as a polite way of "walking away" from the sale! After a discussion with his wife, the vendor reluctanty agreed!

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent for those on a tight budget. Costs half as much to run as a 1.4 litre car.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fun around the corners and squeezes thru gaps with ease.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    As expected for a 40bhp car. Quick(ish) of the lights.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Engine is surprisingly good, but the interior trims and switches are brittle.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A classless car: a "don't give a damn" image.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Got cramp in my right foot when I first drove it. If it isn't the driving position, then its the bouncy ride.

    Security

    The areas of rust and the furry dice should be enough to keep scum away!
