    - very good response from the car
    - very confident overtaking capabilities (loads of torque)
    - good high speed stability
    - economical when you drive sensibly
    - manual gear shifts are light
    - very manoeuvrable in city traffic
    - comfortable yet firm
    - big rear blind-spot
    - small glove box
    - air conditioning a bit too slow cooling down the car
    - obstructive view of the odometer by the steering
    - a bit numb in the corners
To Improve
- better sat nav maps
- eco and sport mode throttle map as sometimes there is just too much power on tap in city driving
Yes, I would recommend this car

    Small car body coupled with very light weight EPS and small steering wheel is a joy to drive in the city especially when maneuvering in and out of tight parking sport effortlessly.
    Steering wheel weighting automatically increase at speed giving you more precise control at higher speed.
    275nm of torque from low 1700rpm gives you a quick boost of speed especially useful in city driving, traffic light sprint, intersection exits, and overtaking even at 5th or 6th gear.
    6 speeds manual gearbox works flawlessly giving you total control of the car performance.
    7 inch high mounted HD LCD screen with satelite navigation let you have better vision on the road ahead while navigating with the screen.
    High mounted instruments display keep our eyes on the road at all times.
    Stable handling at high speed >200kph and great road holding for fast and tight cornering.
    Very long doors for easy access to the rear seats.
    10 parking sensors at the front and rear couple with display on the 7 inch LCD let you park with ease and precision.
    For a hot hatch it's comfortable enough to drive you mum at the rear seat.
    Panaromic glass roof give you an airy feels in the cabin.
    Front bucket seats hold you firmly for a spirited driving.
    12km/l on city drive with heavy foot.
    Huge brakes bring your car down from high speed to a halt in a very short time.
    Small front passengers stowage compartment.
    Less than practical cup holders.
    Nice front DRL and LED front signal lights and rear tail lamp, should be complimented with rear LED signal light and brake lights as well.
    Occational torque steer on 1st or 2nd gear from 200bhp engine which can be minimize after a little getting used to controlling the massive 275nm of torque to the front wheels.

Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    Manual gearbox gives you the feeling you are in total control of the car.
    Nice interior with premium touch and a joy to look at.
    Balanced between handling and ride comfort.
    More than enough power and torque that you ever need in city driving.
    Steering blocking the speedometer, rev counter
    Proper conversion from LHD to RHD, glove box is too small
    Lack of road feel from steering (as expected from EPS)
To Improve
GPS Map isn't working and spend whole day at service centre just to fix the problem and still pending a solution.
Rather have reverse camera than the looks cool but pointless panoramic roof,. Parking is not a problem for this small car but the small rear windscreen blocking the side view could be a problem when there is a lamp post hidden from your view.
Having torque vectoring control like Fiesta ST would do this car justice in all-out handling fun in twisty road.
Yes, I would recommend this car
