Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I probably paid over the odds to help out a friend, but nice little car though.
Costs
Reasonable running costs. Fuel bills not too steep despite doing 50 miles per day at motorway speeds.

On the road
Driving
Could do with power steering.
Performance
Better than I expected from a 1 litre car.

Living with it
Reliability
Some issues, but could be due to using it for a 50 mile a day commute at motorway speeds. Failed idle valve and failed crank sensor.
Image
Cheeky car looks, but looks dated now.
Comfort
Not much to play with. Seats are a but uncomfortable after a while.
-
Security and Service
Security
Other than the after market alarm, it is restricted to door locks. No central locking leads to me sometimes forgetting to lock the passenger door.
Service
Had trouble diagnosing the fault with the crank sensor, as there was more than one fault, and they only diagnosed the idle valve, caused me to become stranded with the same fault 2 days later.
