Review
Mrs J, West Midlands
Pros:
Fab gadgets in a reasonably priced car. A solid drive with a bit of oomph when you need it. Quite comfy on short to medium length journeys. Good boot size - big enough for a border collie! Love the CD multichanger, and the sun roof which almost completely covers the top of the car. Low fuel consumption which saves me pennies, and relatively low insurance.
Cons:
Have had problems with water ingress (common problem) but these seem to be fixed now. The sun roof vibrates if you go over 90mph...apparently!
Comments:
An enjoyable medium sized car. It won't amaze anyone with it's acceleration, but it is adequate to pull away faster than the average joe car. There is more room inside than you think, but you will need to compromise on the position of the front seats when adults sit in the back. This car is best driven on Motorways when the going is good, and the 6th gear really eases fuel consumption (and gives you an extra supply of acceleration when you need it). It corners nicely, and will accelerate up hills without a strain. I will not pretend that I have not had some expensive problems with this car, mainly due to the water ingress caused by the extreme wet weather conditions of last summer. A new fuse box seems to have sorted everything out now. This car would be best kept in a garage.
