    1 out of 5 1.0

    What's it like to drive?

    poor, very bouncy suspension and the seats are just awful, you can feel your back twisiting in the smalles of bends. No support whatsoever so you role out when in tight bends. Head rests are poor too. Engine is very snappy and jerky, to the point of distraction. Vis is poor on drivers side too.

    Ok
