What Car? says
For It's a great town or country car. There's plenty of choice and it's cheap to buy and run
Against Lacks space; awkward driving position and thinly padded seats; basic design is getting on now
Verdict
A spirited city car that will put a smile on your face
Go for… 1.4-litre Quicksilver
Avoid… 1.5 diesel
- 1. Suspension may need repairs after 50,000 miles. Uneven tyre wear shows up problems
- 2. The pedals are cramped and the steering wheel fixed, so tall drivers will struggle to get comfy
- 3. If the car shows any signs of oil leaks, give it a wide berth. There are plenty others to choose from
- 4. Watch out for signs of parking knocks and patched-up accident damage, especially on the GTI
- 5. Clutches are often given a hard time, especially by younger drivers. If there's any clutch slip, avoid the car
