Rather then spamming your thread with this, I thought I'd post this test up in it's own, Sadly i haven't got part two of it but it might still be of some interest.

I like it. Would be over the moon with 46mpg! Doubt its old 1300cc would get near that.

 

Pretty much everything in that report on the car is a fair assessment, although I've yet to notice the boxy design proving problematic in high winds. Steering is light, it does bounce along some roads, seats are very comfy, gears need getting used to but are good, prompt starter, odd choke location which isnt any hindrance just quirky, but I'd say the heater is one of its strongest points.

 

When it goes.
