Cross Country 2.0 T5 (2014)
Bought used, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 9.0 km/litre (11.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    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 like the blind spot monitoring and city brake support that can stop the car automatically. I have tried it before and it works. (Though not planning to try it out again!)

    Speaking of the brakes, they are shockingly good. The first time I took it for a drive, I decided to test the brakes, let it run to 100kmh and immediately floored the brakes. The ABS, ESC and the Hazard Light Warning all kicked in, the car grinded to an almost immediate halt, much to the shock of my passengers. In fact, Compared to some Korean and Japanese cars of similar price, they did not feel as stable as the V40 in an emergency.

    As for refinement, it feels grown up. A very relaxing drive in fact. It was the first time I drove a C segment hatchback, I have driven sedans more. For a family hatch, it matches the refinement and ride of a larger car. It is easy to see out of the car, and at no point did I feel intimidated by the car.

    The T5 5 cylinder engine is powerful, when you floor it, it goes. Oh, and the TFT meters look really nice too.

    A very practical car, 2 six footers could fit comfortably behind each other.
    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 S 60 have it.

    And lastly, it would also be nice for them to have had a reverse camera included with a satnav system. The current Sensus system used is fussy and not that easy to operate with tiny buttons.
To improve
At least throw in the paddle shifters. And there was a bit of loose plastic rubbing on the leather but the dealer fixed it. It would be nice to see the new Driv-e engine with the 8 speed auto as per the updated XC60 in this soon. Fuel economy from the T5 is a bit sad.
Yes, I would recommend this car
