very nippy, good grunt from the diesel engine when you need it, but my god does it rattle! every bit of trim rattles or vibrates every time you accelerate!

ok the straightish rear end is ok to judge but you can't see the end of the bonnet due to its sleek front nose.

It's a good size, split fold rear seats, excellent economy generally good visability.
