What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the T03 is good value, with a long equipment list, a quiet, refined drive and room for adults in a small body. The common criticisms are a fiddly touchscreen, over-eager safety systems and a small boot; Carwow found it unsettled at higher speeds and its range limiting, and Autocar called it competent but charmless.
