General comments?
As far as a 1.1 litre engine goes, this car is quick in comparison to a 1.2 corsa of the same age, which it beats in a straight line up to about 60mph. The interior is not dull so to speak, but i'd never say it was inspiring. Seats are comfortable on shorter journeys, but don't have lumbar support, a serious omission. Pedals are far too close together, on several occassions I have pressed brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously! Cramped in the rear, but the cabin feels open and spacious due to the large windscreen. I think this is one of the best looking cars out there, but the reliability lets it down. Not so much the engine, but other niggly faults.
