I've got to admit that for a 1340cc old fashioned slushbox automatic it goes better than you might think. It went up Fish Hill near Pershore the other day in Drive without needing to drop down to 1 or 2.
don't underestimate the korean cars.
A 2001 Hyundai Accent was the most reliable and economic car I ever owned.
Not a single fault during three years, drove it for 50k mls.
ok, it's not a beauty...
as ever,
Rob
