  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Really great value. Tons of toys n spec. For the money, couldn't find a more complete car for the equivalent cash.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty cheap all round. Helped by good fuel econemy and low running costs.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I know there's worse, and I'm sure there's better, but goes fine for me. Smooth quick porogess, cornereing fine: never fallen of road yet(!)

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Between 3 and 4 stars. Surprisingly nippy for its size, makes a quite a beefy noise above 3500rpm, that I didn't expect.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Been excellent so far, straight through MOT with no probs.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Does me ok. Design is pretty neat overall and body colour everything gets rid of nasty grey plastic.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Big and quiet. Comfy velour seats that adjust all ways and a powerful quality stereo system (as standard).

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Pretty good I guess. Central locking, an immobiliser, an alarm etc etc.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    N/A.
