  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    1.2T is very clever engine. Low emissions (cheap tax) and good fuel economy but turbo means it's fast enough for a family car. It does have a narrow power band though so you need to make sure you're in the right gear at the right time. Handling and ride improved over the old model. Doesn't feel like a big car.

    What's it like to park?

    Fine. Rear visibility when parallel parking is a little limited.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Plenty of room for the kids and all their gear. Wife likes the high driving position.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Dual storage in boot is clever. Loose items fit nicely in the bottom compartment and push chair/bags fit in the upper.
