Decided to buy this as the equivalent diesel was £3000 more and not as nice to drive. I worked out that it would cost me £700 more per year in petrol so that was still 4 years driving. This was a good decision as the car is very underated and has smooth progressive power from tickover to 6000rpm. It is not going to worry an Impreza but still has enough oomph to overtake with confidence.

Really well equipped for it's age with half leather/alcantara seats, 6 disc autochanger, cruise control, electric seats, climate control and leather steering wheel. Car does 31-34 REAL mpg which is good for a 2.3 five cylinder engine.

To sum up it is a cut price Volkswagen which is better equipped and better looking in the mould of the Alfa 156.
