    Had more problems than I could list!

    At first it seemed great but problem after problem has pushed this rating down, great on fuel though, services and parts cost far more than ford etc.

  • On the road

    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    The only thing this car has going for it in the driving area is the driving position, the steering is worse than my kids sit on action man truck!! And as for handling you can just simply forget about it!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The big plus side, the 1.9 engineer really pulls away well off the lights, beats more cars than you would think, fine on the motorway around 80mph any more and the handling and steering just don't cope.

    at first its a nice family car, but its turned out to be very unsafe with fuel fumes coming inside and the boast pipe keeps coming off meaning the car would go from 80mph down to 30mph in secs on the motorway scared my wife have 2 death

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats are great, often drive long distance and never have a problem, back seats have lots of room and being higher than the front offer a great view, no good for the driver if there's some one in the middle seat though.

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Cross roads Kidlington, Oxon. Never been so mad in my life, when we had the fuel leack the woman on recp laughed, they take ages to fix anything and often takes they a few goes, never put new parts on trying to make do with fixing old parts.
