The engine has 103BHP and it is a gem of an engine, it revs freely and from 4500-7000 RPM the car really pulls like a train and the engine sounds delicious. When cruising around the engine is silent, you do wonder if it is still on, but when you put your foot down you get a nice throaty induction roar. The gearbox has a positive change, it has the R65 gearbox, the only issues is that the clutch bite is quite high and reverse is difficult to engage when cold. The car steers brilliantly, there is plenty of feel and the steering is well weighted, the car feels stable and corners really well. The ride is superb, it is very smooth, but firm enough so that it has a sporty edge to it.
The boot is huge especially with the seats folded and there is lots of leg/knee & headroom, more so then the new Ford Focus, the new Focus is bigger and very cramped. The driving position is good, but the seat could be too high for some.
