Audio n sound is above par. Almost like a well known branded car audio system. Audio is almost immersive and crisp clear with just enough bass thumping. Full spec variants come really fully loaded comfort features such ventilated (or heated) leather front seats, sunroof for those spirited (or rather lazy) weekend drives, adjustable (tilt n telecopic) and weighted steering wheel, rear seat aircond vents and gps navigation just to name a few. Driving dynamics and handling is on par with those Honda Civic of same era. Engine/gearbox combination is smooth and engaging to push until at around 5400rpm before it starts to sound a little strained. NVH level is definitely better than its Japanese rivals (Civic, Corolla). A truly well rounded compact cruiser / city driver in my opinion.
Tall rear seat occupants may have a slight space restrictions (headroom, thigh support) as the design is taking after coupe lines and shape (hence the sporty outlook), boot size is decent but can be improved by utilising gas strut instead of current setup.
To improve
Almost well rounded just make it as reliable as a Toyota. So far done 257,000km+ (10 years+) and still running strong. Just a few switches inop (rear n front power windows, steering wheel radio switch glithes), fuel economy may be better too.
Yes, I would recommend this car
