    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cheap when bought, even cheaper now. Loads of space for the money.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Capable of 40mpg plus, ins.group 4 - many super minis cost as much or more to run.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Relaxed but no driver's car.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Sorry, no thrills here, but cruises well enough once up to speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Coil failure (fixed under warranty) and occasional brake squeal which dealer has been unable to sort - seems worse in dry weather.

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Pretty anonymous, even with alloy wheels - ubiquitous family transport.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice seats, roomy cabin. There are worse places to be. Loads of rear legroom.

    Security
