  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Options can be expensive. Constantly changing specification can be a problem if you are not sure what you have ordered!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So far, costs have been comparable with other cars in the class.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb! I was disappointed with the handling of the equivalent Golf, but this is more like a BMW rival!

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    150bhp diesel reminds me of the performance of an Imprezza Turbo.

  • Living with it

    Very understated and hence doesn't attract negative comments.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Great from the driver and passenger point of view, but not so good if you are in the rear!

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I feel confident in the present security system as What Car etc rated it highly.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Overall very good, but dealer knowledge on the variable service plan is very patchy.
