    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Paid a bit much for mine, but generally a good car for the money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Make sure estate parcel shelf is ok - would you believe over £200 for a new one!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent. Not much roll or understeer on corners - better than a lot of other cars.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Turbo diesel is really fast (for a diesel).

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not broken down yet and feels like it has another 100,000 miles in it.

    It's an estate car - what do you expect. It is quite pretty as estate cars go, I suppose.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Seats are excellent. Turn the stereo up to drown out the engine.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Factory alarm and immobiliser - no one's nicked it yet!
