The 3 door dynamic went up against new Clio, Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris & Ford Fiesta. It came 3rd. Clio was the winner, Jazz 2nd. Scores were OK (3 for engine / performance, 4 for driving experience, 4 for design & quality, 3 for practicality (3 door remember) & 5 for costs (well over a grand cheaper than the Fiesta and more like 2 grand cheaper than the rest)).
They said it had a comfortable & supportive driving position (off clutch foot rest at last).
The usual double standards applied though. They said the plastics were brittle but said it didn't rattle & squeak like the Clio.
Warranty is now 2 years with 1 year AA & Fiat have dropped the Grande prior to launch(???)
No contest as to which I'd have given those Brera style door mirrors & Masser headlights!!
If only the dealers can get it right (big ask).
Cheers,
