PR17: 1.1 LX Manual

Reviewer: Samir
Country: Romania
Model: 1.1 LX Manual
Model Year: 2006
Ownership: 1 - 6 months

Good points: Interior space is roomy, silent drive even on highway at 120km/h, very good assisted steering, perfect match for city, pleasant interior and dashboard, excellent-sporty gearbox, excellent brakes even without ABS.

Bad Points: Engine a little weak and not as economical as expected in the city, but at least is clean related to the environment. Maybe an 75hp petrol engine is more suitable.

Your Review: Very good package for its price (3yr warranty unlimited km, A/C, automatic windows). Nice to drive in town on small streets, and also in traffic. Comfortable in the long trips (I recently drove 4300km in 2 weeks going to Greece). Very good for small young families.

Good points: It drives nicely, very economical, cheap to buy and run. Comfortable, surprisingly roomy inside, very smart interior design, lots of headroom; driving position is very good, easy to get in and out of.

Bad Points: Fiddly 3rd party radio/CD, indicator stalk on the wrong side, no clock (except if radio correctly setup and left switched on).

Your Review: Overall I'm very pleased with the car. It ticks all the right boxes for good cheap motoring, and its a very pleasant car to live with day in day out.
