What Car? says
For It's cheap, well equipped, and flexible
Against It's cramped, short of safety kit, and poor to drive
Verdict
Not a bad car but the same money will buy a much better one
Go for… 2.0 SX
Avoid… 2.0 Executive SE
- 1. There's room for only two in the back, and legroom is tight
- 2. With no height adjustment on the driver’s seat, the driving position is only fair
- 3. The automatic gearbox struggles to decide which gear to be in, so you’re better off with the manual
- 4. The boot is a decent size
- 5. Look for face-lifted models (from July 2000 on), as not only are they sharper looking, they also come with more equipment
