Lackluster driving performance loaded with tech and features
Overall it's a very small and reliable car with AWD. It's loaded with all the bells and whistles you would expect at the limited trim. Seats were comfortable and ride quality was ok, with an overall sporty feeling because you're very close to the ground. Gas economy was superb for an AWD vehicle, with real life MPG at 30+. Lane tracking and assisted cruise control were very good, and made highway driving a breeze.
That being said, there are problems with this car. The first is the incredibly small cargo capacity (even versus competitors). The second is the large amount of turbo lag that forces you to floor it every time you want to accelerate. It could really benefit from some tuning and expanding of the wheelbase to make it a bit larger. Drivers stance is very low, and it drives more like a hatchback than an SUV. Apple Car Play was wired in the premium trim and wireless in the lower trims. This makes no sense especially given the limited interior room in the car.
If you don't mind the smallness of the vehicle, it's a good value. If you're looking for an exciting drive and cargo room, look elsewhere.
