Reputation as reliable and is just the size I require.

Easy and comfortable though there is rather a lot of road noise at speed. This may be due to the type of tyres fitted! Cornering is fine and brakes in a straight line.

Easy to park as the rear wheels are close to the back. The front of the bonnet is invisible so closing up to the car in front is a little tricky.

Right size and economical With the rear seats down the boot is enormous. We call it the "Tardis" as it looks bigger inside than it should be.
