Don't get me wrong mate, it isn't my thing, but it feels like far more of a drivers car than anything else similar that I've driven. Steering felt dead and too light (even after the Merc which isn't even rack and pinion), but it turned in sharp and keen, gripped well and dealt with rough roads and changing cambers really well, sweet gearchange too, and surprisingly quick. Far better than the equivalent Astra, Golf, 308, Auris, C4. Still not a patch on a 306 or even an old Focus but if you want a modern 65mpg diesel small family car you could do far worse.
