    What does this car say about you?

    An irrelevant question. Car 'image' is something that doesn't bother us as it clearly matters to others.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They like it

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Maybe. The suspension and seating need revamping. This car's replacement will have a much longer test drive and not just a run round the houses which never reveals a car's true characteristics.

  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Steering seems a bit dead in the straight ahead position and doesn't self-centre very convincingly. Very quiet and little windnoise. The suspension is very firm - almost harsh, and the front seats are very hard.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy
