Nice little car.
Not so little either, roomy in the front, slightly more rear room than the X1 it replaced. The boot is smaller though, but adequate.
Economy now is consistently between 55 and 63 mpg depending on the journey. I don't drive like a vicar.
The Mild Hybrid takes a little time to get used to, but after the first 1000 miles or so it becomes instinctive.
Controls are clear and it drives far nicer than the X1 bone shaker.
I believe it is a real bargain and I think it was probably underpriced as a mild hybrid which may explain why it's now a straight 100 bhp petrol only?
If you're looking for a reliable, economical, smallish car, it's definitely worth a look.
I would rate it 4.5, but I can't.
