  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very under-rated car - I got mine for around £160 I think it was.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Amazing mpg and I didn't really spend anything on it.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A great drive on long and short trips - light steering and feels quite nimble.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For a 1.6 it flew when you give it some welly.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never had to worry about breaking down. It had over 200k on it when I got rid of it and just started with daft things going wrong.

    Just 'old car ' image really, but I thought it was great!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Couldn't complain really, just a little bit cramped leg-wise in the driving position, but not too bad.

  • Security and Service

    Security
