    A little thirsty, but fuel and oil were the only things I had to buy for it.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    More powerful than I expected, but definately not a 'driver's' car.

    Looks dreadful. Definitely a grandad's car.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad at all. Not a lot of room in the back, but the front seats were comfy and heated.
