Good Points
Interior cabin and controls, space, good engines, EGS gearbox, styling, fuel economy.
Bad Points
Too much tyre noise, suspension not always poised on uneven roads.
General Comments
Lovely punchy and quiet 1.6hdi diesel engine, futuristic and practical cabin, great space, nice styling. Some have criticised the EGS gearbox, but I find it excellent in manual mode. On all but the smoothest roads some noise intrudes from the tyres, especially as the engine is quiet. On uneven surfaces the softish suspension rolls around a bit, but handling is fine and the steering nice and light. Lovely car.
