    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fun to drive, handles well but invest in good tyres for cornering in the wet at speed.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nimble and rapid - great fun to drive and easy to modify.

    Predecessor to the saxo VTR, so a bit boy-racer.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Some nice luxury touches, but a bit basic and noisy.

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0
