Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Handles perfectly and encourages you to use the back roads where it feels like it will grip round corners at any speed. The steering is pin-point precise and nicely weighted. The 1.25 duratec has great personality and provides an addictive jolt in velocity after 3,000rpm.
What's it like to park?
Effortless, Privacy glass and rear headrests do not impede vision.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Gearbox is occasionally notchy in 1st and reverse.
What's most practical about your car?
The cabin is surprisingly roomy front and rear; and the boot is massive, especially for a 3 door.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated windscreen; Privacy glass and upgraded Sony stereo with Aux, Bluetooth and voice control.
