    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value compared to competition, but depreciates heavily if bought at list price.

    Servicing not cheap but 36-40mpg and never goes wrong.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Handles fantastically, definitely the driver's car of this class.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    1.6 engine is lively but lacks overtaking punch and is noisy at motorway speeds.

    Better than run of the mill Vectra/Mondeo especially for those who know anything about cars.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Too noisy at motorway speeds though seats are supportive and there is plenty of equipment.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    No alarm but good immobiliser and locks.

    Service
