Confortable car with a reasonable smooth ride and fair economy, I return between 34 and 39 mpg and I am not a light footed driver. I serviced recently myself and when I found all the parts in the car it only took 2 hours for filters, plugs and oil change. Being able to remove all the seats bar the drivers gives a good space for carrying loads on the odd occasion. Boot space isn't bad for a smallish car. Overall I rate this car highly, it is fun to drive and in the six months I have owned it I have really enjoyed it. Sometimes in the wet the traction control kicks in when pulling off at a roundabout and I used to find this off putting but now I am used to it I find it reassuring. The additonal features such as ESP and ABS are reassurring as I live in the mountains of wales with the climate to go with them.
