Effortless

This car is both a blast to drive and basically drives itself. By buying the manual transmission you feel more of the car and road and with radar cruise control, smart brake support, and smart city brake support when you want to relax a bit in highway or city traffic, you can do so safely. The car will slow you down and allow you to set your proximity to other vehicles all the while helping to protect you from any collision and relax a bit if in traffic manual operation isnt your strong suit. There's many other features and benefits of this car but it is most definitely a drivers car. Very enjoyable and stylish and the kids love it too!

There’s no arm rest, or no space for your cds. But the car handles like a dream. When u turn it turns. Like sports car. Nice radio boseman speakers. It gets up and goes to get out of traffic fast. Parking is divine whip in and out. All of the bells and whistles like backing up red velvet will tell u when someone is behind u. Also the lane assist wow I didn’t have that my other car I really like it.

Not for tall humans

Fit and finish, drivability, looks, etc, are all fantastic. However, as a 6ft tall man, I cannot achieve a comfortable driving position. Very annoying. Steering wheel doesn’t come out far enough, so I have to move the seat forward and cramp my legs. Also, the drivers seat gives me lower back pain. If you are downsizing from a larger vehicle, make sure you are OK with this vehicle’s relatively small interior, and double check your driving position! Wishing I would have bought a larger vehicle.
