  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Let down by poor build quality in certain areas, door locks feel cheap, dashboard is bland and lacking LEDs for empty fuel etc... overall average value for a supermini.

    Average.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Poor clutch and gearbox due to slight stiffness when compared to other small vehicles.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent performance for engine size and good handling due to sports chassis.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Yet to fail me, touch wood!

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    In my opinion, this car is the class leader in image and style, with chrome and wooden trim normally only found in larger prestige vehicles.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Either my legs are to long or the steering wheel is to far forwards. Seats do not offer the best comfort available.

    Average.
