    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value, all the comforts you would expect.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I service it myself, which is pretty straightforward on this car, I think the insurance group is a bit steep for this type of car though.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice ride, handles great with good quality tyres, I like the steering setup.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nice and torquey, deceptively fast I think.

    Pretty anonymous, but that's the way I like it.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfy, not over keen on the seat height adjuster, it lifts from front to back instead of an even lift...which is a bit petty I guess.

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great, nice standard immobiliser and alarm.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Can't really say, service it myself.
