Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Much cheaper as an import for exactly the same car (make sure the ferry is not going to sink, though).

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A nail through a rear tyre cost loads in the first week I had it. Servicing costs are reasonable, though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Comfy, smooth and relaxing! A real pleasure to do long journeys in.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Plenty of power at the top end makes overtaking feel really safe. Suspension is not very sporty or positive, so cornering at high speed can be hairy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0
