    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Responsive steering.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Could go some when pushed, but not the best car for high-speed driving.

  • Living with it

    Not a great starter, and broke down a couple of times.

    Not the most stylish car in the world - but raising the suspension when you're stopped at traffic lights enables you to gloat at all the other cars around!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Interior very comfy, but wet during rain.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No alarm or immobiliser - but you could leave it unlocked and no-one would want to steal it.
