Pros: The engine and gearbox are great - the gears engage quietly and at the right time. Acceleration is smooth and even. The suspension is quite soft, despite the 18 inch wheels. Four-wheel drive is a thing - the car is very confident even on icy roads.
Cons: The seats look cool, but I would not call them comfortable. Consumption is quite higher than stated
