For Visia trim makes this the cheapest model with the 1.6-litre engine, which is lively and brings a noticeable step up in performance over the 1.4.

Against The 1.6-litre engine is not the pick of the range and we prefer the cheaper, more fuel-efficient 1.4. Plus, there are notable holes in the Visia's standard kit: no air-con or curtain airbags.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

The 1.6 engine may seem attractive, but there's nothing wrong with the cheaper 1.4. Go for the smaller engine, but with better specified Acenta trim - that model doesn't cost much more.
