  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Slightly pricey but definately worth the extra over rivals.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Average fuel consumption cost.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Sprightly handling offering good levels of grip and feedback. Ride height could have been 20-30 mills lower, had this done myself.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    75ps for a 1.4 is a bit disappointing, does 115mph though. The 1.0 must be a dog.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    More faults then you'd expect for a car of its age and mileage (48,000).

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Image is apparently not as good as a Peugeot 206, we strongly disagree.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For the size of car it is exceptionally comfortable, even on regular commute between London and York.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Immobiliser good, could have done with an alarm as standard.
