Great

	Cheap to buy and run
	Lots of kit for very little outlay
	Squint a bit and it's kind of cute

Gripes

	You'll be fidgeting with too little driver's seat adjustment
	Firm ride will leave you wary of speed humps
	Doesn't feel as special as European rivals

Drive

It's kinda average, but not unpleasant

Reliability

Should prove reliable but it could feel posher

Inside

Nicely put together but you can't adjust the driver's position enough

Space

Loads of headroom and plenty of space in the boot for mini shopping sprees

Safety

A four-star Euro NCAP rating is impressive for a little car

Standards and extras

Even the basic car is loaded with nice stuff
