    Great.

    Service cost £260 at main dealer. Frugal fuel consumption.

    I can only compare it to Renault Clio, which I have driven before and it feels a touch more vague but there is plenty of grip. In the wet is a bit weird.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good mid range, but there's too little when pulling away and then suddenly too much when the turbo kicks in.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Probably not so great. But this is down to our twisted culture. However, I would feel far more embarrassed driving a BMW.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very nice, good driving position. Poor rear legroom. Fantastic boot.

  • Security and Service

    Security
