    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Some low mileage cars are well priced.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    For everyday use, very expensive (25mpg). Parts and tyres on fat boy very pricey.

  • On the road

    Driving

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Absolutely awful, like 1930s film version of driving with constant adjustment of steering required.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Engine is too small so noise is excessive.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Only problem is lack of any indication as to whether the car is charging or discharging. Battery is very small and hard to obtain and is not up to the job.

    Hard not to look like a prick driving this car. Leave it to your wife or retarded adults who seem to abound nowadays.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Seats are quite good, but ride, particularly in fat boy, is much too bumpy.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Non-existent security, so how can you rate it? Even a padlock on the zip around rear window would delay thieves slightly, but soft top is open invitation to steal. Only deterrent is the ridiculous image.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Referred everything to their dealers who in turn did not want to know.
