Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
MPG only 35-40mpg for mixed driving, not the oil burner I'd thought it be.

On the road
Driving
Very smooth to drive, though not the turbo push you would expect. But it's a 90bhp!
Performance
Sluggish at times, but very smooth

Living with it
Reliability
Never broken down, but always some electrical issue. Had the motor changed for front window, back wiper stopped working. Servo disc had a crack in it. Oil leak every 5,000 miles! The gear would not come out of Park. Needed to change switch.

What price an image for the hassle I have had, give me a Toyota anyday!
Comfort
Supportive seats, cramped at the back. More room in the back of my Yaris!
