They lost 2 stars for not having audible seat belt warnings and the entry level doesn't have anti-skid control

According to this review anyway @ 4m 28s

It scored badly for running people over.
Everything else was fine.

As an owner I'd disagree about the gutless petrol engine, its better than the diesel (see the specs + I'd tried them both).
Fuel consumption is poor, but as someone who only does 4k miles PA that factored low for me. I saw no fitted stereo as a bonus - what the review does not point out is its all prewired for 1DIN or 2DIN self install, so you can slap you own choice in easily.

Thread creep I know.
As for the Cactus, I love it...
