Economy
Value
Very good as long as nothing breaks. Mine cost £2k, and I've spent over £600 fixing it.

On the road
Driving
Comfortable ride, but can be hustled. Lots of traditional understeer under power, but no lift-off oversteer.
Performance
Quick enough up to about 80, then gets wheezy. Not much overtaking oomph unless revved hard.

Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't broken down yet, but have lost 2 exhaust valves, 2 fan belts, various small electrical components.
Image
Common as muck, but I've got the metallic turquoise, I like it :)
Comfort
Excellent drivers seating position. Comfortable suspension.
