Not fast at all with a 0-60 in 10sec. But 56mpg Combined and road tax at £30 for the year! Can't really complain about that can you. Besides it wont be long I recon before someone finds out how to make it less green
How can we not consider these sorts of cars anymore with the cost of things now

so it's cheaper for you to fork out for a "new" car than it is to buy a 10 year old motor that will still return 40-50 mpg?
