Been driving the Life Plus variant for about 3 months now, clocking 6500km++ mileage. One fuel tank can last about 850km with 50 highway / 50 city driving pattern. No major issues noted except sensor issues (which occurs during heavy rain) or drivetrain error (happened twice but after turning off/on engine, the error code disappeared. Pretty much like rebooting a computer). Well, this is part and parcel of owning a hi-tech vehicle with lots of electronics, which could happen to any brands. On gearbox, there's absolutely no issue at all since it's built with WET clutch. So whomever still think that there's gearbox issue like 10+ years ago, that's because it's dry clutch.

On safety aspects, it's fully loaded than any other german brands out there. By far, only Volvo or the latest Koreans model had it better. Like - All the techs and interior space - Fuel saving (especially when the petrol price is high) - Nice look and not too boxy like the mk2. Dislike - The pickup is really slow (but can be resolved if you get the throttle control) - the shifting from Gear 1 to Gear 2 kinda lag, need to hit at least 2500 rpm. - Gear 4 to Gear 5 very lag, sometimes even with 3000 rpm ++ it will not shift the gear up (can be manually resolved using pedal shift). All in all, a good family SUV for Singapore road. Fuel efficient yet ample space for passengers and shopping.... Read More
