Economy
Value
Lots of car for £2000.
Costs
Some very expensive parts (brake disks, clutch, etc) compared to the rest of the range, but 'usual parts' are very reasonable.

Driving
Handling can be a little alarming...(!) Ride is a touch harsh on rough roads too.

Some odd noises, but nothing too worrying.

A bit harsh on B roads, but excellent on the motorway.
