    I bought mine for £5k when a year old.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Reasonable fuel economy around town (40 mpg), I've never needed any spares other than brakes and air filters.

  • On the road

    Driving

    Fairly smooth to drive.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable. The engine is smooth and flexible, and quiet up to about 60 mph.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Never let me down. Poor warm starter. Good exterior build quality - the panels feel reassuringly substantial and the car still looks like new when cleaned and polished.

    We like it.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Okay in front, seats very firm, quite cramped in the back. I'd buy the five door next time. Very basic cabin, no air con or other creature comforts. Hard plastics abound, annoying intermittent rattles on poor road surfaces.

  • Security and Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never needed it. Car serviced at local garages.
