Good for its age, almost all models have ABS but earliest cars may have no airbags at all and some were retro-fitted. Passenger airbags generally optional and side bags only optional on the later models. No Euro NCAP result. Good immobiliser fitted from 1992 onwards.

Isn’t built for practicality, but the boot will meet the needs of most. The rear seat backs however do not fold so if you need greater capacity perhaps consider the saloon or Touring model with its estate back. Glovebox and a few pockets are the only storage areas in the cabin.
