    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty smooth. Easy gear change, bit too much road noise though.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing mechanically. But, the paint is very thin, and it's possible to leave a scratch with your finger nail.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The economy. 35-39mpg city driving. 45 achievable in the city if careful. 45mpg motorway average.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    It's all fairly standard. It has the Bluetooth phone kit, which is good for making calls when driving. Don't keep my phone connected all the time due to Bluetooth killing the battery.
