What Car? says
For Inexpensive; reasonable cabin space; good driving position
Against Disappointing engines; not very versatile; outdated
Verdict Looks and feels outclassed by rivals
Go for… 1.8 GSi
Avoid… 1.6 CDX
- 1. We'd go for the 1.8 engine - it's a little quieter on long trips and doesn't have to work so hard as the others
- 2. There's plenty of interior space, thanks to the box-like shape
- 3. You can expect quite a few creaks and rattles from the cheap plastics used throughout
- 4. The rear seats can take three, but two is best, and kneeroom is tight for adults
- 5. All-round vision is very good, as is the driving position
