I have to use rentals a lot in my job and have driven some utter hounds but this little licence loser is a peach, comfortable, fast, frugal (like I give a toss) quick steering and delicious handling. C'mon let the Vauxhall debate rear it's ugly head again, anyone concur?

It's hardly fast and it doesn't look very nice.

I don't concur.

No!.

Its ugly, you cant see out of the back (tiny window). Build quality is poor as the dash and trim will start rattling and squeaking in no time. Also if its a 09 onwards you will be lucky not to come accross some sort of power steering failure..

I have been told the engine responds well to a remap though.
