Good solid car, very comfortable seats, engine pulls nicely through all gears, although 1-4 are too tight together meaning huge rev changes in 5th and 6th, annoying on country roads. It isn't a full size estate so won't have a huge boot although for a compact estate the space in the boot and in the rear is more than satisfactory. Storage space in the front is on the thin side, glove box small too. Has a handy cupboard in between the 2 front seats that doubles as a mini arm rest. Heated leather seats make for a very comfortable ride. Only 2 things to note, the headlights are not very good (well known) and there is no footrest to the left of the clutch pedal (although space for one to be installed), which isn't a bother as the carpet next to it, or hovering over the clutch if driving round town, will do. Also, engine quite thirsty, driven frugally the car still only returns at least 15% less MPG than quoted, although for a 13 year old 150,000 car its still impressive
