1.8 TSI (CKD) (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 3 Years
Fuel Economy: 10.7 km/litre (9.3 L/100 km), RON97
    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[...]

    Looks more expensive than it actually is. Compared to the Golf, it feels more premium. In fact, it makes the BMW 1 series look absolutely pathetic inside and out. Fit and finish is generally good, with decent panel gaps, fabulous seats that just cosset you so well.

    As for technology, it has a lot of tech that many of the rivals don't have lik[...]
    If at all the main issue is the gearbox. Personally I feel the gearbox is a bit slow, compared to the German ZF box used in BMW cars. The lack of paddle shifters is a bit of a disappointment too.

    It would have been nice to also have adaptive cruise control too, which allows the car to maintain the distance with the car in front. The XC60 and [...]
