  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Felt I got a good deal for the car. Bought it second-hand.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally very cheap to run. Petrol not too expensive, you get about 350 miles on a full tank. Servicing is quite costly.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Driving comfortable generally, although the arm rest is a pain when driving in town. It's just in the way of the gearbox, making gear changes difficult.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not very nippy, quite lazy, especially when going up hill. Seems as if it will just loose power, even with pedal on the floor.
