Driving it
What's it like to drive?
If you can, buy at least the 1.6. The 1.4 is under powered.

The front & rear are guesswork, best to get the passenger to guide you in.

49k, never missed a beat. 16k between services, awesome. Pitted alloys & broken hood sensors replaced under warrenty, no quibble.

Not a lot but nice on a sunny day up to 50mph.
