    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The driver's position is ok, although the seat could have been more supportive to the back.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The 1.4 engine is quite sufficient for both city and motorway driving, giving good acceleration.

    Immobiliser fitted as standard and hs central locking although, as mentioned elsewhere, this car did come last in the AA car security test.
