What Car? says
For It's got a big, well-shaped boot, and more rear headroom than the hatchback version
Against The driving position is dodgy, the gearshift notchy and the interior tacky
Verdict
It's a capable mini-estate, but it shares the hatchback’s shortcomings, especially the driving position
Go for… 1.6 HDi
Avoid… 1.1 petrol
- 1. The cabin isn’t particularly spacious and the interior design is dowdy compared to some rivals'
- 2. The boot is well-shaped and the SW provides better headroom for rear passengers than the hatchback
- 3. You’re best off with the 110bhp 1.6 HDi engine, which is powerful and punchy
- 4. Electrical problems account for almost half of all reported faults, particularly with the central locking system
- 5. Suspension and brake wear is especially heavy on the higher-powered models
