Brilliant all rounder, if you can live with the rear visibility

Great performance (180 PS version). Economy averages 40-45 mpg, 55-60 mpg on the motorway. Lovely and quiet, although poor road surface makes it noisy. Handling is great fun, enjoy 2 of the 3 settings and use comfort or sport depending on passengers. Really cosy inside, comfy with 4 adults if they are ok with the 2 door entrance and small windows. The rear visibility isn't great, but the car isn't that big so its not a problem (we don't have reversing sensors). Our kids like it in the back as it's 2 formed seats. Boot is decent size, we get a wheelchair and some luggage in with no problems, although boot lip is high. We think it's a great family car, although it's probably not aimed at this market, and plan to keep it forever, or until we get another one in the very long term future - we like it that much (assuming that when it's recalled for the emissions adjustment it still drives the same)
