(change model)
Sturdy bodyshell, strong chassis and lots of equipment. ABS, passenger and side airbags standard across the range. Immobiliser across the range but alarm on top-spec models isn’t Thatcham approved which will cause insurance headaches.
The boot is a good size, but it’s slightly tricky to use, because of a high loading sill. Plenty of storage space throughout the cabin – cupholder restricts access to stereo.
