Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Hidden Gem. 50+ mpg when you dawdle, but 205Nm of torque means it surprises people when you want to pull away from them. Handling is safe rather than sporty though, but it's very refined, extremely quiet - wouldn't know it was a diesel. Firm but not crashy.
What's it like to park?
Doddle

Living with it

Nothing wrong at all

Very spacious for a supermini. Rear seats slide back and forth, or tumble into footwell leaving a flat load floor.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
No single item, but the car is well equipped. - alloys, air con, elec windows all round, trip computer etc.
