    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Has done 50+mpg from day one. Service intervals at 9,000 miles are mean compared to Renault's 18,000 miles for same engine.

    Absolutely fine, if not sporting. Very comfortable on long journeys.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Lively enough. Good midrange acceleration.

    Pretty non-descript, but who cares when it's £4000 cheaper than a Mondeo.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good driving position and roomy for passengers. Standard air con and good quality radio/CD player.

    Average, although locking rear seat backs are good idea.

    3 out of 5 3.0
