Bought new, Owned for 1 Year

    Fit and finish has to be given to those German built cars, honestly, I was seriously impressed when I sat in it. From the leather to the materials used, it was oozing in luxury. Being a fan and user of BMW cars, this was rather surprising considering the A4 was actually cheaper than the 3 series.

    It looks like a very sharp car in the front th[...]
    Rear seat did feel tight for an average sized person, in fact I think it felt more tight than some C segment cars. GPS is a cost upgrade which is quite shocking compared to the rest which have it as standard. The cost to have it in defeats the purpose of getting it as you could get a better Garmin unit for less than 10% of the price.

Azzam
1.6 AT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 13.0 km/litre (7.7 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 800 km/month
    - Fuel efficient for an MPV.
    - Comfortable. The absorber gives a nice handling and a comfortable ride for both driver and passengers.
    - Feels solid and good quality.
    - Applaudable NVH. Road and mechanical noise is very minimal.
    - Ability to transform the rear seats into a flat storage area is a plus.
    - Lack of space for 2nd row passengers.
    - Lack of small compartments in the cabin.
    - Air cond blower only at the front and cold air is channeled to the 2nd row passengers via a small aircond vent. It is not a big issue IF you have a good quality tint installed.

    It's an economical k-car
    Perfect for squeezing into tight (or illegal :D) parking space or escape from jam at times
    Spacious as ever for a small car
    Electronic power steering a good upgrade over hydraulic power steering (especially on high speed)

    I really want to be fair to judge this car based on it's price tag but I think these could be better:
    1) the seats could be more comfortable (needs softer fabric)
    2) soundproofing could be better, I mean how much could sound proofing materials cost.
    3) this car is not meant for the highway nor does it feels right on a highway cruise unless yo[...]

    Mine was the imported unit bought in 2012 but was a 2011 unit. Very stable at speed. Manage to reach 205km/hr. It is a heavy and stable car. Safety features are good with airbags all round. Space is good including boot storage. Transmission is smooth with no issues so far.
    Rear right wheel sensor unit malfunction and had to wait for 3 months for a replacement. Very poor resale value. Incidentally the rear right wheel also exploded while being driven on normal road at slow speed as it was heavy traffic in the morning. No warranty as the service personnel accused my wife that she had hit something while speeding. G[...]
