For In the five-door you can swap the passenger space for a bigger boot, by sliding the rear seats. The 1.1 engine is responsive and costs are reasonable, with 51.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 130g/km.

Against The ride never really settles and the steering is short of feel. Despite some good safety features to help prevent an accident, the car comes with two front airbags only for if one happens.

What Car? says

2 out of 5 stars

A practical, spacious and well equipped city car that shouldn’t let you down. It’s pretty good to drive, too, making it a fine choice for those on a budget.
