The 6-speed manual is low geared at only about 22mph/1,000rpm in 6th. The CVT-7 is more relaxed at about 30mph/1,000rpm in 7th. I got 58mpg out of one of these. The touch screen is easy and intuitive to use. I'd go for the CVT-7. Just don't expect massive acceleration for overtaking on country roads.

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5iVTEC Sport model.
