1.2 8v Eleganza 5dr

Fabulous around town

Great little car around town. Really easy to park etc.

I like the 1.2 cylinder 4 cylinder engine - simple design, reasonably economical but not a sports car. The Eleganza climate control is the best I've ever encountered - on a hot day it could be used as a meat locker!

Negatives - it's not my favourite on a motorway. The engine can keep up with traffic but in wind you get thrown around a bit especially when passing lorries.

It's been reasonable re reliability except a bad noise from the gearbox, repaired by a good old fashioned specialist. It's now better than when it was new (family owned from new).

Car battery seems to last about 8 years(just had second replacement @16 years old - The first clue is a power steering fault, it's not, just change the battery!!!!
