Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nearly new are cars very cheap, even from franchised dealers.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cheap to buy, insure and maintain. The only real reason for buying this car.

  • On the road

    Driving

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Absolutely abismal. Steering heavy and inaccurate. Crashing ride, yet masses of body roll and understeer. Awful feel to pedals. Masses of free play in gearbox. Probably the UK's worst handling car.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Slow, even for a 1 litre. 3 cylinders make it sound like a Porsche 911 though, hence the 2 and not 1 star rating.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonably well built, but lots of electical problems.

    Fashion concious people may like it because it looks nice. Most people however know better, or buy as second car for no other reason than cost.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Okay for passengers, pretty bad for the driver. Offset pedals and steering wheel. Steering wheel too far away. Every drive a workout.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Doesn't seem to feature any noteworthy devices other than door locks. Lack of any kind of appeal to theives is probably the most noteworthy security device.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only goes in for routine servicing. Quite expensive.
