    A great car that represents fantastic value for money.

    Have had the car a year and only replaced the breaks and had a service.

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Exciting to drive on country lanes and easy on the motorway.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No supercar, but my 1.6i certainly responds well and is no lagger.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Has started first time every day. Outshone more modern cars last winter.

    Is a sporty looking car for its age and the pop-up headlights make it more individual. Much classier than any of its rivals.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Comfy on motorways and rigid on country lanes.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No security except the standard door locks.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    No comments as I used a Mazda specialist.
