    Very good value for money. Etoile is well equipped with air con and electric sunroof, plus airbags and ABS.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Seems cheap to own and insure, but main dealer servicing is expensive. Now take car to independent specialist which is half the price of main dealer servicing.

    An easy, relaxed car to drive. Very refined and quiet and moderate speeds. Some body roll on corners which is typically French.
