"Small, quality car that's good to drive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

The only replacement apart from service items has been the rear suspension bearings at 43,000 miles.

General comments?

Very well built, solid and reliable.

Even though it's at the bottom end of the range it still feels like a prestige car.

Reasonably sporty handling and good road holding.

Quite practical.

Good motorway cruiser.

The engine is very smooth for a 4 cylinder. However the downside is poor performance and fuel consumption. Usual range is 27 - 33 mpg.

I have no problem with the review it self, it is what I was looking for. My only request, that will also improve your review is that the fuel usage will also be put in km's, so that I can understand it and don't need to go and get a calculator to translate (I come from South-Africa we don't work in miles). Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated. (cvandyk@tshwane.gov.za)
