I dislike the fact that the mirrors do not fold in when the engine is switched off and also, there is too much digital input when driving - the car tells you to drive in the centre of the lane, when to take your foot off the accelerator, when to change gear etc. Other than that, I like the style and colour of the car.

I like that it handles reasonably well for a base model. I like that it goes reasonably well for a base model. I do not like any of the modern driver aids such as lane departure assist or automated braking . I also do not like the electronic hand brake.

Difficult to adjust temperature at night. Mirrors don't fold in when parked. Too much screen controls. Needs more knobs. Seats not as comfortable

I like the styling and the build quality. It has a good range of safety features and an intuitive driver assistance system which is great
