Chevrolet Kalos Hatchback
What Car? rating - 2 out of 5
FOR  The Kalos is Chevrolet's best-looking car to date. Its comfy ride is a boon around town and there’s the added attraction of lots of standard kit and a strong warranty and servicing package.
AGAINST  Sloppy handling, a coarse engine and a notchy gearshift are the main drawbacks. Cabin quality is still behind the best European rivals.
