    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Average to drive. Not very exciting but then again do I want umdersteer etc when it comes to long distance driving, which I do a lot of.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not the best diesel I've driven for diesel consumption. Mine does about 400 miles (at a push) to a tank.

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Mine has had no end of niggly problems. The rubber seal on the doors keep coming away from the doors. The sump gasket has gone cost me £99 to put right.
