Good Points: Very good power deployment and fuel economy of the engine Efficient and smooth operating automated gearbox (EGS6) Looks Kneeroom for rear bank Very good cornering apability
Bad Points: Very soft cushions at front seats Wind noise from door mirrors above 60 mph Not great reception of the stereo
General comments: It took me nearly 1.5 years to gather the courage to buy this car, because I've been reading very negative critics on various forums. Also the test drives I'd made at dealers at various times returned very negative results to me: the cabin was very noisy with creaking noises from every corner, the egs transmission a shifting inconsistenly.
Having seen in recently in forums that people have started to complain less and less, I decided that it is the correct time to purchase this car. I was not mistaken at all: The car is nearly perfect. The cabin is extremely quiet even at high speeds and poor roads. Suspension is doing a great job on uneven surfaces absorbing midsize shocks. Little loud maybe over big bumps and potholes but that is absolutely acceptable.
Engine pulls very well and I have a great milage. The car gives a great confidence in curves an you do not hesitate speeding up.
The front sets are way too soft for my taste. The cushion is very soft and thin, so you end up sitting on a flat hard surface after a few minutes. There is some wind noise from door mirrors above 60 mph, but I don't care much about it looking at the great view in front of me with the legendary steering wheel and the wide dashboard and the incredible digital dials in the middle of the console.
Boot is big enough, so we will be able to put our luggages when we go to holidays. Radio reception looks to be little poor, the tuner is akin to loose the senders. But sound is solid.
Overall, I am very pleased with the car so far. Everything was in perfect shape when the car was delivered new from dealer (@9 miles).
I would recommend this car to anyone from model year 2008 onwards.
