Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 18.0 km/litre (5.6 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,682 km/month
- Excellent fuel economy, making it very budget-friendly for daily use.
- Noticeably more stable than the previous-generation Axia.
- Equipped with LED headlights, which improve visibility at night.
- Seats are comfortable for short to medium trips.
- The engine tends to growl even on small inclines, which can be distracting.
- At higher speeds, especially when overtaking a lorry on the right lane, the car can feel slightly unstable, causing a drop in driver confidence.
- Long-distance travel can feel tiring and less comfortable overall.
- Lacks basic media controls (play, pause, next) on the steering wheel.
- Uses convex rear-view mirrors, which can distort distance and make it harder to judge how close vehicles really are.
To improve
- Add basic ADAS such as AEB, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring.
- A larger engine option, such as 1.2L or 1.3L, would improve performance without sacrificing efficiency.
- Provide a digital or partially digital instrument cluster with clearer information layout.
- Include steering wheel audio controls for convenience.
- Add telescopic steering adjustment; the current tilt-only setup makes it harder to find the perfect driving position.
Yes, I would recommend this car
