Driver’s airbag standard on all models; passenger airbag on XS, GS and ES models; ABS was an expensive option on cheaper models at launch but is now standard across the range. No Euro NCAP rating. Alarm and immobiliser are standard; no negative reports regarding their effectiveness, but it may be worth increasing protection for town use.

Only the five-door model offer adequate luggage room; the three door barely has enough room for a couple of shopping bags.
