Economy
Value
Excellent value, considering I bought from main dealer. Lots of quality car for the money.

Not much has been spent on this car. Would say a Golf costs about the same as an Escort to run.

Driving
Excellent driving position. Nice supportive sports seats. Controls unfussy and feel good to use. Quiet cabin.

Very smooth and eager. Can seem slower than it actually is on motorways!
