Good Points
A very well equipped, comfortable cruiser. It's 110 BHP engine has plenty of kick, and the cockpit is light years ahead of it's rivals. Brilliant styling certainly gets you noticed and the fixed hub steering wheel is very unusual while being surprisingly user friendly.
Bad Points
Extremely heavy doors are a downside as is the poorly placed automatic headlight switch - this is placed on the indicator stalk so can easily be accidentally switched from "Auto" to "Off" when you indicate so when you think the lights have come on themselves, you're actually driving with no lights! The awkwardly shaped boot cannot fit bulky prams in either.
General Comments
A fantastic long distance cruiser which is happy sailing along the motorway back and forwards to Donegal every week. Have had 13,000 hassle-free miles with no reliability issues. This car is a joy to live with despite its few design flaws and features such as the electrochrome rear view mirror (dims the lights of the drivers behind at night so you don't need to dip your mirror) and amazingly comfortable seats really make you want to drive this car.
