    Nice shape. Trendy but not lavish.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good seats. More room than the competition.

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not great. The AA man took 20 secs to get in when I locked my keys inside. Buy an alarm. Immobiliser is standard.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Very poor indeed - not only from local dealer (Northgate in Canterbury), but also poor from Fiat UK.
