    Can get a little noisy in the car over rough road surfaces.

    Simply stunning for an 80 bhp diesel, cruise at 96mph at 3000 rpm plus superb midrange punch for safe overtaking.

    Love the looks, especially the rear end.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ride is very firm, but then most modern small cars are, suggest running tyres at 2 psi less than spec.
