    Good to drive. Not great handling on bends, but easy to drive.

    It really goes when you put your foot down!

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Well mine's old and does have problems in cold/damp weather, but I've just about always been able to get it to go eventually.

    It holds well for such an old model.

    Comfort

    It's fine for the driver. I'm not so sure about the passengers.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Most 4 year olds can get into it where I live. I've been through numerous door locks. It's never actually been nicked, but I think that's only due to the stoplock.
