  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only paid £2000 for this 'R' plate, an absolute snip.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Don't know yet, but a full service, clutch and cam belt by the previous owner set him back nearly a £1000 including labour. Only £350 for parts though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It's a bit woolly on cornering at speed, but the grunt and performance of the engine is great.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The 2.0 litre engine is a whiz. Pulls all the way to the red line, absolutely cracking.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not had it long, buts its got 100,000 on the clock and still feels like new

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not the best image, a bit of a 'country doctors' car image. Alloy wheels would bring it more up to date

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have no complaints so far. Very roomy.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0
