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

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Outstanding for the £5k I paid second hand with remote locking, A/C, PAS, twin airbags and a good quality CD/Radio all included.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Probably too early to comment but is economical and cheap to insure and tax.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great Drive, firm but well controlled and refined ride with outstanding cornering ability.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Amazing for a 3 cylinder 1.2. Is very revvy, smooth and quiet.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A slight problem with a pipe coming out somewhere on the exhaust system/catalyst a week after I got the car, but swiftly and efficiently attended to under warranty by Arnold Clark Liverpool. Feels solid and well built though.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    In my eyes superbly stylish, both inside and out for what is essentially a basic supermini. Still gets some admiring looks. Is also somewhat more unusual than the normal Fiesta, Corsa, Clio etc.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ride a little firm on poor city roads, but compensated for by comfortable seats. Some slight road rumble on rough surfaces but low levels of wind noise at all speeds, so very good all round.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good for such a lowly model with deadlocks and an apparently good quality immobiliser. More than adequate I'd say.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Buying couldn't have been easier, plus the slight problem I had was swiftly and efficiently sorted out by the dealer.
