Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Terrible value considering all the problems that you will have to fix.

About average cost to buy and run. Again, wouldn't recommend this simply because you will have to shell out to fix known problems.

Performance
Pretty average performance.

Living with it
Reliability
Er... does this car come in a waterproof model? I'm afraid that it lets in water in all seals (round the doors, windows and lights). Engine wise, beware of the clogging throtle and various electrical faults.
Image
Nice looking car... shame about the build quality.
Comfort
Easy to adjust the seating to whatever height you want.

Security and Service
Security
Security will never be enough until manufacturers do more.
Service
They aren't willing to pay to fix the seals - which are a manufacturing fault... nuff said.
