  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very nice indeed. The uprated s-line suspension makes tackling the twisties and roundabouts a joy, but it's not so stiff that it makes bumpy roads painful. The 140bhp diesel is surprisingly rapid and easily capable of shredding tyres even with the traction control on. The brakes are also impressive and hit that find balance between responsiveness and 'feel'.

    What's it like to park?

    Parking is made a breeze by the audible reversing sensors.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nope. Nothing so far, just had the cam belt changed and it's running like a dream.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Ooh, tough one. Love the cruise control, love that dual-zone climate control, but the impressive-sounding standard-fit hi-fi with the 5-CD changer is the winner!
