It was a stable car, slightly heavy, with good steering feedback, adequately weighted steering, good back seat, which can seat two adults and a child( large central column on floor made it uncomfortable for 3rd adult) . The back seat had good seating position and head rest, making it comfortable for old people on long drives( contrast etios liva diesel) . The engine was the same as VW polo 1.2 tdi, which although noisy, had terrific pickup, pulling adequately from 1500rpm onward ( had to learn to control the acceleration! ). After 1 year, I feel its a very good car.
