Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It seems that smaller cars hold their value better. You don't get an awful lot of equipment as standard, no rear electric windows, cruise control or rear seats that fold down.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not as bad as some rivals, but as with most brands, dealer prices seem high for servicing.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good grip, corners flat, composed at high speeds. Generally comfortable ride considering sports suspension, can be knobbly on bad surfaces at low speeds but smoothes out at higher speeds, well controlled over dips and crests.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good torque spread across rev range means strong acceleration without having to change down a gear. Useable acceleration from under 2000rpm in 6th. Good fuel economy for output. High top speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems.
