Great little urban/suburban car for the smaller family but hopeless on faster roads. Gets passed by everything, speed falls away quickly on hills (especially when laden) and is noisy/tiring on the motorway. But can't fault its low cost, tiny thirst, low insurance premiums and excellent reliability.

This humble little car has quietly exceeded expectations over 3+ years of ownership. Roomy inside compared to its external dimensions, practical to use and economical to run with decent spec levels for the price. The buzzy three-cylinder engine sounds great and is more than adequate in town but it can feel short of power going uphill out of town. But it never fails to do what a car should - it starts first time, gets you there efficiently and is a joy to park!
