What does it cost?
For The tiny turbocharged engine has 99bhp, yet still gives an average of 47.9mpg. A high-quality interior, alloy wheels, air-con, curtain airbags and auto lights and wipers complete the package, along with a TomTom sat-nav unit.
Against Expensive compared with some rivals and, as a three door, lacks some practicality. The poor steering feel spoils the enjoyable drive. Servicing costs can be high, too.
