Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I believe I have a lot of car for my money!

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not at all frugal. Mid-twenties, so forget this car if you need economic return. Servicing well within budget, though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent handling, but some road noise and a hard drive on very rough roads.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great on the open road, but sometimes feels a little sluggish around town. Tackles hills due to good torque.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems encountered, although windscreens (front and rear) take longer than expected to de-mist.

    Nothing but admiring looks and great feedback from friends in the car trade and my local Mr RAC man!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Extremely comfortable, but firm seating. Airy interior.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I defy the opportunist car thief to take this away!

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only one service at local garage who I trust more than main dealer.
