Real MPG

45.4

Average

Excellent handling makes it fun to drive. 1.5-litre model works very well on uneven UK roads. 2.0 as quick as many drivers would ever want. Well-equipped for the money.

No rear seats. Technology is now looking a bit dated. Not available with an auto gearbox (but that's no real loss).
