Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy, depreciation horrendous - dreading when I come to trade it in.
Costs
Saddened by only 38mpg in mixed driving for a diesel!

On the road
Driving
High position on road - great. Front pillers do obscure view though. Easy to park too.
Performance
Diesel tad noisey and for me lacks power - there again, it's not a boy racer car!

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems in 23,000 miles. Occasionally wont start first time when weather is damp
Image
People do look as it's different from norm. But, no brand leader.
Comfort
Suspension clonky over choppy surfaces, more road noise than engine at speed, but, overall no backaches after 2hrs behind the wheel, so it can't be that bad.
