    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles very well. Takes some courage to throw into bends but rewards the effort. Firm suspension and responsive steering make a lot of sense.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable - will work like a 1.8 Petrol engine, except up hills, where it wil be more like a 2.2 petrol with its additional torque.

  • Living with it

    A bit dated now, but still looks better than any cheap Ford or Japanese nonsense.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    AC and all the adjustments make this car an excellent buy. Some wind noise prevents a '5' rating for the money.
