Diesel keeps the running costs down. Very clean engine.

On the road
Driving
Handles well as the diesel is heavy fronted. Low profile alloys improve cornering. Also tried the 1.4 petrol, which has good balanced handling.
Performance
Slow off the mark, but excellent acceleration when you get going.

Living with it
Reliability
No Problems so far.
Image
3dr has a sporty classy look. Needs the low profile alloys for looks. Interior is far better by look and quality than in its competitors.
Comfort
My daughter, who is petite, loves the seating. I think it's great, after trying Peugeot, Renault, VW and Merc. I don't fit in many seats as I am male with a 52" chest, weigh 19st, disabled, with a back problem.
