    Great for long distances, not great for parking at Tescos.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty good for a 1.6. Test drove a 2.0 and that was a different class.

  • Living with it

    Not for boy racers, but fine to get from A to B if you work a long way from home.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Remote locking and immobiliser - what more do you need on a motor like this?

    Servicing a bit pricy, but very good.
