Great car with a dynamic 1.5 engine and a 7-speed automatic; a downside is the electronics, which often shut off—terrible when reversing!!! It could also have a bigger tank because it averages 7 liters and at most 700 km.

Lack of soundproofing due to aerodynamics (wind noise, or noise from tire rolling — it would be helped a lot if it came from the factory with Continental tires)
Thank you.

Very good in terms of power. Less good on sound and getting in because of a protruding dashboard.
