PROS: This large family estate vehicle can comfortably seat five occupants and is easily accessible as it has five doors. The car reached a maximum five star rating from NCAP and practicality is good for families with engine offering great efficiency and the boot offering plenty of space for luggage.
CONS: This car is not cheap to purchase at £19,695. It does not have climate control or cruise control, and in terms of appearance and style this car does not offer leather seats whilst a metallic paint finish costs £525. For extras such as rear parking sensors an additional £225 will be added to the purchase price of the car and this means the total costs could be even higher.
Despite the car being eco friendly and producing a small 109 g/kmof CO2, performance credentials are fairly high and the car runs fairly quickly, reaching an impressive top speed of 120 mph. Accelerating from 0-62 mph takes just 11.1 seconds - which is good for a car of this class - and is fed power by an efficienct and well refined 113 bhp engine.
The external appearance of the car seems quite sophisticated with alloy wheels featuring as standard throughout the range. To enhance the style of the car metallic paint is an option for drivers that are willing to fork out an additional £525.
Rear parking sensors can also be purchased for £225, which could be a worthwhile investment with the potential of scratching or bumping the car.

The car's security is well established and with central locking drivers are far more likely to lock their car when they leave it unattended, and as the car is fitted with an alarm in the event of a break in of any sort the car is more likely to be protected.
