    Let's face it - I didn't buy it for style, I bought reliability and space. If you want image you won't even be reading this.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Front is good, elec windows/sunroof quite roomy. The rear is good for kids, but boot eats most space in rear.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Immobilser/alarm are adequate. It hasn't been nicked yet but steering lock can be too stiff.
