    Lot of car for the money. Electric windows, sunroof, mirrors.

    Recently bought, so not sure about costs, but fuel consumption surprisingly good for a 1.8.

    Secure handling, smooth gear change, nippy performance. Acceleration from 50 to 70 in fifth very brisk.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Pretty nippy in all gears, but not a sportscar.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Slightly dull looking, but not too common and usually arouse more interest than your average Escort.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seats are firm and supportive, and wheel and seat can be adjusted to suit nearly everyone. Lots of room in the footwell and huge accelerator pedal. Visibility generally good but drivers side mirror seems to magnify the view and you can't see an awful lot.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0
