Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers

personally i think they are a safe bet of a car to have....i would go for a 1.6 though which is what my wife has,i think the 1.4 would be gutless.
Was thinking about the 1.6 but over here it's very hard to find a 1.6 5dr most are the saloon version, which I dont realy like the look of.
1.4 will be good enough for her, she's driving a 1.4 megane at the moment
so I doubt she'll mind.
Any one else know about them?
