    My car

    I think you should uprate the current star rating for this car. For everyday use on a budget it is very hard to beat. Your comments that the car is "wallowy in corners" may apply on the limit, but this also converts to having a reasonably soft ride for a "hot hatch".

    On British roads these days, this is a far more important consideration than out and out handling. My only gripe so far is the light (extremely!) coloured interior, which is proving hard to maintain clean. Overall, it's a very fast, cheap, economical, well built bargain!
