What Car? says
For Comfortable, cheap to buy and well kitted out
Against Cabin quality could be better; the "wrong" badge
Verdict
A low-cost family saloon. Snobs need not apply
Go for… 2.0-litre LX
Avoid… 2.5 V6
- 1. The cabin design looks dated, but it’s well equipped, solidly screwed together and reasonably roomy
- 2. The electric gadgets can be pricey if they go wrong – especially the air-con – so check they all work properly
- 3. The 2.0-litre model makes most economic sense. It’s gentle on fuel, insurance and servicing
- 4. You can fit two adults comfortably in the back, although three may find it a bit of a squeeze
- 5. The boot is large and the rear bench splits and folds to extend it still further
