    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good ride & handling, visibility pretty good, ABS brakes as you'd expect from this size of car.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    110bhp engine quite good, pulls in higher gears which you'll notice if you've driven older less powerful diesel cars, although if you really put your foot down you'll notice a difference in mpg.

    Not a head turner, but still looks good, some might mistake you for a taxi though.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Drivers seat doesn't appear to go back as far as other cars this size, and beware if you have larger feet (11 or above) as your toes catch on the carpet above the pedals.
