1. Be wary of any cars for sale with brand-new tyres fitted. The seller may be disguising problems with the wheel alignment
2. There's a good amount of head- and legroom all round, but only room for two in the back
3. Before you buy, check for uneven tyre wear, which could show up wheel alignment problems
4. Cheap materials make the cabin feel very low-rent
5. The three-cylinder engine is fine around town, but a bit stretched at higher speeds
