A plain car that probably undervalues itself in looks. True value probably higher than felt.

Service costs not excessive at main dealer.

Driving
Adequate, but gearing on diesel takes some getting used to.
Performance
Good 52mpg performance, even when driven quite hard. Acceleration in 50/70mph range exceptional. It does not cruise happily at 30mph in 4th or 5th gear.

Living with it
Reliability
No complaints.
