CarExpert's Take
Matt Campbell
Senior Contributor
Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Bigger, crisper screens
- Still great value for money – mostly
- Long warranty, cheap servicing
Misses
- Halogen headlights unless you buy top-spec
- Missing a heap of safety kit in lower models
- Lap-only centre rear seatbelt – really?!
