Good quality build for a small car with modern looks.

On the road
Driving
Needs help, especially on dodgy junctions on hills. Give a week's notice to crossing vehicles. The weak will struggle to turn the wheel due to lack of powered steering.
Performance
Does the job, but at its own pace. Gobbles the juice over 65mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Very good starter in all weathers and has never left me stranded.
Image
Does me no favours, but it fits the missus lovely.
Comfort
Front seats are suprisingly comfortable. Have not had a problem touring the country.

Security and Service
Security
Plug-in immobiliser becomes worn. Who cares, the only thief looking to steal this baby is a very drunken one. There would also be no joy in the joyride.
Service
Found technicians did not have a clue how to fault find.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
45bhp - my push iron sets off quicker. However, the missus loves the steady pace and feels more in control.
Other
Lambert sensor went 25k; only £35 to replace. If exaust is required, spend extra on good make. First 1 we had lasted 18 months the new one has really helped the car use the full 45bhp. Annoying thing is the Hazard warning light button will not switch off.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
No
