Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can't fault it. The cesaro is a Limited edition (GSi substitute). With smaller engine and less bodykit, the Cesaro is the only one to get!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good on petrol. Insurance people must be joking with Group 10 insurance.

    I'd recommend a suspension kit, as any car needs stiffening up to prevent roll.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nippy. Nice midrange torque, thanks to close ratio gearbox.

    Lovely black dash and sport seats identical to that of Gsi, but in different trim.

    Security

    Recommend Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser anyway, no matter what you drive.

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never bother with main dealers. DIY or use your local grease monkey.
