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.

A fine car which is great value for money. Getting over 5 m/Kwh and the acceleration is brisk. Ride is smooth and inner space exceptional. In good weather you will probably get the claimed 251 miles range
