    5 out of 5 5.0

    Decent cars can be picked up for buttons, as suspension frightens most.

    Get a well maintained diesel and they cost very little to run.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not the most exciting.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Non-turbo model, so lacks punch, but excellent on motorway.
