For In the five-door you can swap passenger space for a bigger boot, by sliding the rear seats forward. The 1.3 is plucky and flexible, although you’ll need to rev it and work the gears.
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
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.
