General Comments:

I love most things in this car. Looks are polarizing, but I like it. I believe it looks sporty and elegant at the same time.

The front seats are extremely comfortable. I am tall and it still surprises me how well the seats fit me. I usually drive alone (sometimes with my wife), so the rear seat space is not an issue. The trunk is enough for what I need and the folding rear seat backs are very useful to carry some items.

I believe the suspension is well balanced. The car feels always under control and connected to the road, but not excessively stiff. No rattles, squeaks or parasite noises. Nada!

The leather feels very nice, as well as the soft material of the dashboard. The lower part of the doors look rather cheap plastic.

Once running, the engine accelerates eagerly, but not so from a stop. Turbo lag is very noticeable, but I can live with that.

Service is excellent. The whole package has been an enjoyable experience.

I recommend this car, but test drive it and make sure the turbo lag is something you can live with. I am always looking forward to driving it.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
