What reviewers say

Auto Express and Top Gear praise the 2008's styling and well-finished interior. Auto Express finds it refined on the motorway but less fun than a Ford Puma, and says a recent price cut improved its value. Top Gear considers it one of the sportier small SUVs, though its ride is firm on larger wheels and options can raise the price sharply.
