    Great drive, very fast 1.5. Quick on corners and brilliant on traffic lights.

    Nice standard, lovely paint. Get 17"s, lower, colour coding and tints. That's all you need. Proper head turning car.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not too homely cs of the middle dash (under the head unit). Can be modded though.
