General comments?
I would recommend the car highly as it is very economical providing you drive it carefully - 35-45 mpg, if you drive it with a heavy right foot with 4 people in the car you will get about 20 mpg. The car is great fun to drive and is also very comfortable to boot. The performance is great for a 1.4 due to the light weight. 0-60 is around 9 secs and top end about 115 mph but nipping through the gears around town the car is brilliantly balanced although the tyres can be lit up very easily, especially in the wet. The looks in standard form are red-hot but with any additions they are just great.The list is endless for mods but I just went with a set of alloys and a performance air-filter, not for power, just for the noise from the carb!
