Faults:

Car coughing and stalling at start - that's it!

General Comments:

Brilliantly reliable jalopy. Despite the slow start, she does start every time. Just changed the air filter and sparks, have yet to change the oil, and she is purring like a tiger on the road now. Still not as swift as the little Signet was before, but when you put the foot down, it gets up to a good speed without breaking a sweat.

The only downside is the uncomfortable seats, but I am used to this after the Vivio and the Signet. I have plenty of padding, so not that bad a problem. :)

I like the old radio, despite only the AM works; it's great for picking up foreign channels; always makes the news sound better to me.

I hope we get through the test, but I was lucky that this car had been really well looked after by one careful lady owner.

Faults:

NONE.

General Comments:

The car drives well, but the interior is a bit old and farmie. It needs new seat covers and floor mats and the speaks aren't that good, but when that is fitted the justy will be immense. It accelerates at low speed well, but struggles at high speed.

Faults:

Nothing really, have had car for over 11 years, it as passed every MOT without any trouble. Is starting to rust a little around the wheel arches.

General Comments:

First car I had ever bought and I think it will be the best.

It as never let me down, very economical, cheap road tax, what more can you ask for.

Excellent car to use for popping around and is OK for the occasional long distance.

Faults:

Nothing has really gone wrong with the car except the clutch feels slightly lighter than it used to, but this is probably due to wear and tear.

General Comments:

Many of my friends underestimated the performance of the car when I first bought it. Taking them for a ride showed them otherwise with a descent speed and good handling and the 4WD extra certainly impressed them when pulling away after a corner.

The 4WD is good in difficult weather situations, but useless off road due to little ground clearance.

The Dash is also plain, but this should be expected in a car of this stature. Replacing the standard radio/cassette player with a CD player and installing rear speakers makes the ride much more enjoyable.

One point that really lets the car down is the gear stick. The stick is a long and flimsy tall stick with a rounded head with a big red 4WD button in the middle of it.

Other than that the seats are comfortable and the Justy provides a smooth ride.

Sometimes I question why there aren't more of these cars on the road.

Faults:

Started rusting at around 70,000 miles, now this has spread around all the arches, including front and back.

Peice of plastic on Indicator Switch Bank broke, had to replace with new switch bank, new one £300, so I fitted a second hand one for £30.

Probably only going to keep this car for another year, if it doesn't get terminally ill, and starts costing silly amounts of money.

General Comments:

Good little car if running about and occasional long journey is in order.

4 wheel drive is a good extra, but useless in real 4 wheel drive situations, just good for getting out of scrapes, Example Snow, Mud, grass.

The interior is fairly good, the wipe down surfaces are a must when having muddy boots, and there is a suprising amount of space if the back seats are lowered.
