Fun to drive, cheap to run and repair, simple and basic interior but engine is reliable and responsive and in 1.st, 2.nd, 3.rd gears the car is nippy but lack of torque means poor acceleration in 4.th and 5.th gear.
I could write better review if car was higher up model with more features; but for this, the flight, I was very disappointed with lack of trip computer, rev counter, temperature gauge and anti-lock brakes.
Doors ice up easily denying access in sub zero temperatures.
This car also steams up quickly in wet and I've bought dehumidifier to try alleviate the problem to increase visibility.
Cabin noise on motorway is rather intrusive, I had ringing ears after some journeys.
Radio is unsatisfactory with 2.1 sound system, speakers are installed in the rear however there is no wire loom to connect them.
Generous boot space for hatchback.
Standard cassette player is outdated; cassette adapters are available for iPods.
Fuel efficiency is good but could be better (38 mpg combined).
Wing mirrors are small and limits perspective. This especially bothersome when parking. Central mirror suffers same problem and its difficult to set it in a optimum viewing position for driving.
Cleanage of air filter and crankshaft pressure release to prevent failures and reduced fuel economy.
Braking power is very poor even when firm, it is ideal to brake well in advance.
Grips well in ice and snow due to front wheel drive and light weight of car (900kg).
3 star Euro NCAP better than most small hatchbacks from its era but by no means safest car to be in during an accident.
Drive sensibly and the car shouldn't give you too much trouble. I'm nit-picking with many issues herein other than exhaust; it's a good little runaround and many failures/problems stated are typical of any vehicle.
