Faults:

Shortly after delivery of the car the boot lock needed replacing.

General Comments:

The car was basically bulletproof. Nothing broke down or failed apart from the boot lock.

Servicing from dealer was expensive, so the money I saved in petrol (37mpg against 32mpg on my old car) went towards higher than expected service charges (£130 rather than £85 on my old car).

The car was smooth and easy to drive and quite peppy.

Seats were too soft, but plenty of room for its size.

For the cam belt change service I took the car to an ex-hyundai dealer who charged £100 less that the main dealer for the service.

Only changed it because I needed a bigger car.

Faults:

Boot lock failed.

Drivers visor wouldn't fold back.

General Comments:

I get 35-44mpg and great performance from the 1.3 12v engine. Always starts on the first turn of the key, the car is ultra reliable

Good sized boot and spacious inside if a little narrower inside than some rivals. Been officially booked at 104mph by the Police so it shows you can have good economy with performance. Well built, almost bulletproof.

Faults:

Water ingress into boot.

General Comments:

Great dealers.

Handling leaves a bit to be desired, but as a cheap and cheerful runabout, fits the bill perfectly.

Faults:

Tracking on front wheel is difficult to get right.

Small things include;

a) Sun visors

b) Drivers window cable

General Comments:

Very pleased with reliability. I have over 112,000 miles up and it has never broken down. They need to get the tracking right.
