Practicality rating: 1 out of 51.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

The basic structure is strong, but you only get passenger airbags, side airbags and ABS on the top-of-range 1.4 Sport. All models have deadlocks, but not much else.

Luggage space is shameful. Only just enough room for a week’s shopping with the back seat up. For those with no kids you can fold the rear seat (on all models) and get much more room.
