    Average. Nothing to write home about. Bit of wind noise from driver's window at high speed.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Despite being a TD, I find this car very sluggish. It goes very well on the motorway, but struggles at low revs in urban areas.

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Standard alarm. Not the most desirable car in the world.

    Service car myself. Dealer servicing costs very high and required every 6k miles!
