Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy but depreciation heavy. Bit plasticky inside makes it look cheap. Mats worn out quickly.
Costs
Cheap to run, tax, insure (£245 full comp 37yr male, 5yrs ncb), first set of tyres lasted 27000 miles.

On the road
Driving
Easy to drive, but feels over heavy at the front, sometimes steering wallows under load.
Performance
Its a diesel...more a tortoise than a hare.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No major headaches - one warranty recall for engine mounts.
Comfort
Dash mounted gearstick is great but makes driving position more cramped for a taller driver. Not as comfortable as I would like for long journeys. Very roomy in rear, cabin feels light and spacious overall.
