    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable and competent. Very easy to drive. Not too sporty.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good for a 1.5 engine. Need to Rev it up... take it easy and 50+mpg is very acheivable.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought it at 80k miles, now on 110k miles and had nothing go wrong at all...

    Well, my other car is a Nissan 200SX and I also have a Suzuki GSXR, so this isn't really a fair question...

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Three young kids on the back seat (with booster seats) is impossible, but loose one of the booster seats and it's fine... really a four seater though... apart from that, certainly no complaints.
