1.6 HDi 90 Sport

Reasonably versatile, reliable and roomy 'estate' with good economy and decent performance

Ex-rental, bought at 8 months old and 13K miles. Four years on there have been no garage visits except for 10K-mile oil and filter changes and a set of pads, discs and tyres. Fuel consumption is better than 60mpg. Handling is good for a car of this shape, and the seating is comfortable. Hatch-window opening in tailgate is useful.

Negatives: like most modern cars the bonnet is too high to see over, there can be irritating reflections in the large raked windscreen, and driver's view is restricted by small window areas behind (another modern design trend). The only everyday annoyance is an awkward horn - not easy to hit in a hurry.
