Review
Smooth but slightly noisy engine. Great CVT gearbox with sports mode. Enables you to drive economically or accelerate fast when you need it.

What I like
Ample headroom
Electric tailgate
Fuel Economy, 14km/L
Small turning radius. Easy to park

What I do not like
Egg shaped
Interior space a bit small

Review
- Unique sized car.
- Easily manuveres around corners turns and small car parks.
- Light steering at low speeds and heavier steering at high speeds.
- CVT provides a very stress free and pleasant drive all day.
- At 1.4L with 108bhp, it produces more power per weight.
- Not very well sound protected but the engine is so silent at high speeds, you would wonder if you had been pressing the accelerator.
- CVT with sports mode also gives you the option of faster pick ups than most 1.6i category cars (provided you know how and that is the fun part). And all this at stock levels!

That aside, the trunk is remote control operated and is fantastic on a rainy day. You remotely open the boot which provides a cover to sort things out before you move quickly to the car. Works for me.

The car windows can be remotely closed when leaving the vehicle. Side mirrors are automated. At this price, its not feature packed but its definitely fun cum family packed and you know the engine wont dissappoint you.

Configurable seats to allow for ALOT of stuff. I have fitted furniture, shelves, seats in there. Pretty cool for purchasing new furniture for the home but albeit dont bring too many people along then.

What I like
- Mivec CVT engine. Powerful yet silent and being light produces more power per weight which helps in more acceleration, less fuel and keeps things silent too.

- Fun and convenient features for the single or the family.

- good FC. Personal best FC at 15.3km/l. Averages 13km/l - 14km/l on 50% highway and 50% street.

- Cosy with your partner. There is almost nothing between the driver and the passenger seat beside.

What I do not like
- Only interior is not as fantastic. Very traditional and lack of component covers for most pockets.

Review
1. Good fuel economy- despite occasional speeds of up to 100kph and urban traffic, still never fails to produce 14km/L.

2. Pickup from standstill may not be very fast due to CVT, but once at crusing speed the car is extremely fast,quiet and comfortable for a 1.5 litre car.You achieve 100kph at a slightly over 2000 rpm, reason why it is so economical.

3. Many featuers found only in more expensive cars. Tiptronic , automatic trunk/headlamps and wipers as well as Courtesy interior light, remote control side mirrors and windows

What I like
1. 2-tier trunk space plus fully foldable rear seats easily convert the cost plus into a van and is great especially when you are heading for IKEA.

2. Remote control trunk never fails to impress.

3. Comfortable ride even for 4 adults.

What I do not like
1. Pickup seemed awefully slow but once you are used to the CVT behavior, it is actually seamlessly smooth.

2. Wind noise is inherent at 100kph due to the design but after a while your ears will be accustomed to it.

3. exterior design is abit dull especially when viewed from the back.

4. will be great if the rear seats can be moved back to allow more leg room for the passengers.
