Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very quick, and lots of fun for the money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Servicing has been (unsurprisingly) expensive. I go through tyres every 6 months front and 12 months back.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic on twisting A and B roads. Better than my old impreza for feedback.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bang for the buck can't be beaten. Handling is grown up Peugeot 205.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    One problem with airbag light/sensor fixed under warranty without too much fuss.

    Understated. Chic styling with added racey bits for the boy racer inside.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suspension isn't really set up for comfort but I had no problems doing about 1k (motorway) in 3 days.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can't really say. Alarm (Cat 1 I believe) was retro fitted as parallel import. Also have disklok and big stick!

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Expensive. Forgot to stamp MOT certificate!
