Faults:

The 1.6-liter engine feels barely adequate for the weight of the chassis and the permanent all-wheel-drive system. It struggles to regain speed on the highway or on steep inclines without straining the engine.

The CVT automatic transmission produces a noticeable drone under full acceleration.

It requires changing the transmission fluid at the recommended mileage intervals to avoid serious failures.

Touchscreen exhibits lag and outdated graphics.

General Comments:

This hatchback is truly very comfortable, economical, and easy to drive. It offers excellent comfort and great ride quality over bumps.

The electromechanical steering feels sufficiently quick and precise while conveying a good level of feedback, and the brake pedal offers good feel. Its symmetrical AWD system provides excellent traction, aided by the engine's flat power delivery as well as the excessive slip and slow response of the continuously variable automatic transmission.

As for the engine, as I mentioned earlier, it is very fuel-efficient (though city consumption might be slightly higher, it’s not by much); it is also smooth and pleasant, with a good ability to rev out.

I was won over by its chassis, spaciousness, equipment, and versatility. Mind you, you have to forget about sporty performance. It is highly recommended for drivers with a relaxed driving style; in that regard, it is the ideal car.

In my opinion, as a hatchback, it surpasses cars like the Astra, Focus, and even the Golf (which I have also driven) in terms of equipment and comfort. It has a sporty look (even if it isn't actually a sports car), is relatively affordable, and offers the reliability typical of Japanese vehicles; so far, I am very satisfied with my car. I will try to provide further updates over time.
