Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What initially looked good value has had the shine taken off with a big hit on depreciation.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Most driving is done on motorways/dual carriageways with cruise on. At a reasonable speed, can average 34mpg, but service intervals of 12k means they soon come around and are becoming increasingly expensive.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good and bad experiences. At last service it was claimed that the tracking was out and they adjusted it. However, it felt worse afterwards. It transpired they had set it up incorrectly, using V70 rather than S60 settings.
