  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Gives a nice comfortable drive, easy to handle and my 1.4-litre model generally had good pulling power when needed on motorways. Having good size mirrors eliminated most of the blind spots on both sides of the car.

    What's it like to park?

    Not being able to see the front of the car didn't help when parking, but having the generous size and shape of the door mirrors really helped when backing into a spaces.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Yes the sensors on the exhaust needed replacing and I hadn't even done 40,000 miles - they cost £130 each. For what they are I thought they should have been made of gold. The wiper blades seem to need replacing a lot.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It is a good practical car for size inside and out for the average family. It is easy to get in and out of for both older and young people.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    I liked the fact that the whole back seat moved to give you either more leg room or more boot space.
