  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Second hand bargain - most people think you have won the pools.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    30 miles per gallon (admittedly, mostly open road driving) - dealer servicing expensive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Sure-footed, handles well for 16' car, no surprises on bendy bits.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    OK - there are cars that accelerate harder but not many for £11,000 I paid for a luxury car with £38,000 on the clock (51,000 now, 10 months later).

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A little niggle at the moment - I think its the spark plugs that need replacing - will know in a couple of days when I take it to the garage.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Better than my previous 5 series.

  • Security and Service

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0
