The trim
See full equipmentSport trim combines the looks of the sporty JCW model with the running costs and performance of the lesser C or S versions. We reckon Exclusive makes more sense, though.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 168bhp 1.5-litre petrol engine in this model can feel slightly hesitant when you're setting off from a standstill, but it's punchy enough on the move and impressively refined despite having only three cylinders; you just hear a distant thrummy note. It's therefore the one we'd choose.
