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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I'm not sure that £13k is fantastic value, but then again 130bhp is worth paying for. Standard spec is incredible value, though.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    20,000 miles an no new tyres yet. Servicing costs as advertised.

    Marvellous... Fast, fun and practical!

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Rapid... but also happy pottering in town. 2nd gear is my personal favourite.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Apart from a blockage in the fuel pipe on delivery, it's been fine. I've replaced both headlamp bulbs (which went at the same time) and the rear wiper cowl.

    Smart without being ostentatious or vulgar.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Rise is a little stiff, but firm seats suit me. Air con and CD as standard.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Hasn't been nicked yet, although when someone tried to get in at traffic lights, the wife was very glad of the auto locking, even if it does confuse every passenger!

    Service

    Dealer in Cheltenham is superb. Highly recommended.
