    Reasonable cost if bought as a used car.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Absolutely brilliant if running costs are a must. 50mpg is the least you will get if you drive hard.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Too much road noise transmitted through the cabin.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I know you will be surprised, but once the turbo comes in, this car is very quick - it will accelerate all the way up to very fat speeds and will catch out cars with twice the CC.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good, apart from a couple of minor electrical problems and a wheel bearing.

    Just another family car, but one with a very well kept secret. Also economical.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Let down by the intrusive road noise. Seats good.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I live in the North of Scotland, so security is not a issue. Only sheep to steal it.
