Driving
Hassle-free
Performance
Torquey engine revs well, the measly 59bhp is put to the ground through a very impressive gearbox, it definately gets the most out of the car. Still rather slow though

Living with it
Reliability
130,000 miles and never missed a beat. Still runs like almost new. Very impressed. I have put about 35,000 miles on it
Image
Very dated, but still a good looking car none-the-less
Comfort
Best car in the world if you live down a road with pot-holes aplenty. Very comfortable for long motorway drives etc too
