Hallmark Aria hatchback review: still the sensible choice

After 5,000 km, the Aria remains easy to park, cheap to service and comfortable. The cabin plastics feel basic.

The Aria has been a bestseller for years because it does the basics very well. After 5,000 km we have not had one rattle or one warning light.

Visibility is excellent and the 4.9 m turning radius makes tight parking easy. The 1.0-litre turbo engine pulls strongly above 2,000 rpm.
