    It's a family car so not too exciting, but interesting enough to be a little different

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seats good, but could do with a bit more shape to them, interior space is incredible and feeling of light and openness in the cabin is remarkable for the size of car, heating and air con fine only smallish boot lets it down
