    The alloys and front fogs do their best, but you still see plenty around in the basic trim being used as shopping trollies and learner drivers.

    High spec means you can sit back and relax, but a bit cramped.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Immobiliser as standard, but as alarm is dealer fit only. I missed out.
