    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very easy to drive, steering is a bit too light though - which actually causes one to drive more slowly!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What you would expect from a 1.6 - has to be revved to get the best from the engine.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not a car you'd expect to have a lot of trouble with.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    With some fox alloys, a rear spolier and finished in metallic blue, it looks pretty good and is more interesting than an Escort or Astra...

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Everything is very well laid out and easy to use. Plenty of room inside.
