Quite nippy, handles well at normal speeds, happy at 80 on the motorway.

Good overall, better than 1.4 and same fuel economy.

Reliability
Couple of minor problems, most cars have them, no worse than any of the other 30 cars we've owned.

Still got a 3 pointed star on the bonnet, more class than a Picasso or Scenic.

Average, seats a little hard, good driving position if you're not over 6ft.
