    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of car for not much money.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Main dealer is expensive but worth it. 20 mpg if you are lucky!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fast and smooth, yet still a comfortable ride.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Clock shows 160 flat out - not bad for a four-door saloon!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never let me down, and it has done 180,000 miles.

    Stick some 17-inch Borbet C on and it looks great.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Like being sat in an armchair, but more entertaining.

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0
