    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent value considering the toys on offer.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cheap to insure and good on the fuel. Car tax is in the highest cost braket, else would have scored 5.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable drive. Best at higher range i.e. on motorways or at cruising speed.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bit slow of the mark, but once into third gear can pick up quickly.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not too many expensive problems. Some electrics seem a bit flaky - ABS sensor, water in fuel sensor and fuel guage.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Still looks good. Exec model has alloys and leather interior. A bit boxy in shape, but has its own appeal.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can't complain. Leather seats are extremely comfortable and plenty of room in the back for the kids. Air con needs to be colder when the weather is hot, but this is the UK so not a major issue.

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0
