    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    This car has always been slated, but the engine is responsive. Traction control is ok, never any moments.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quick enough. Can drive progressively, will go when you need it to.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems with the car. Never broke down and always starts first time. What more do you want?

    Depends what you're comparing it against. It's a large family hatch, not a TVR.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I'm 6' tall and it always made my knees cramp up on journeys over 10 miles.
