  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great. The 1.6 VVT engine delivers plenty of power. Keep the revs above 4000rpm to give maximum acceleration through the range. Such a high revving engine can get tiresome on a long motorway journey, but this car is all about the B-roads.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Climate control is nice. Keyless entry is also a welcome feature. You do get alot of stuff as standard with the Sport.
