    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Can squeeze 330 miles form a tank with light foot on throttle. Insurance OK, but shop around. Parts expensive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cruises comfortably at 70mph. Not bad on corners, but can catch you out if road surface changes.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Does everything I have asked it to do without complaining.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems. Will start after being left for a week at -12 celcius covered in snow.

    Not a head turner, but I didn't buy it for image reasons.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No "numb-bum" after long journeys. Plenty leg room front and back.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Don't think anyone has tried breaking into it. An alarm as standard would have been an nice extra though.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems experienced. Aftersales follow up and help has been very good.
