The trim
See full equipmentOn top of all of the stuff that you get with Classic trim, Exclusive brings bigger, 18in alloy wheels, some slightly more appealing interior finishes, a heated steering wheel and a far more enticing palette of exterior paint colours. As a result, it's our pick.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 168bhp 1.5-litre petrol engine in this model can feel slightly hesitant when you're setting off from a standstill, but it's punchy enough on the move and impressively refined despite having only three cylinders; you just hear a distant thrummy note. It's therefore the one we'd choose.
