    Good electric pack, just missing the remote central locking.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Paid out a lot on new bumpers - colour matched. I wish people would stop driving into me! Servicing 1 1/2 times what I was quoted when I bought from dealer.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Small, slick and good power steering. 1.5 is good at speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only two years old and no problems apart from a slightly sticky rear electric window.

    Looks like a little Honda CRV, spoiler and alloy wheels makes car look much bigger!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No split rear seat, but seat slides forward to increase boot space.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Alarm, immobiliser and dealer-etched windows.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good, but a bit cheeky from the salesman with the 'adjusted' sevice figures.
