Pros Potent acceleration and heaps of traction Well-trimmed cabin Enough practicality to serve everyday use Attractive, easy-to-use infotainment system
Cons Snug back seat and small cargo area Ride quality might be too firm for casual drivers Front seats sit too high for tall occupants Some driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise, are optional
Overall, an excellent car, even considering the high price given the size. It has a well-rounded set of features, and when performance is taken into account, some would even argue that it is good value for money. Definitely well worth a drive!

Cons Turbo lag (which may be a pro for some!); Transmission logic in Comfort mode; Software bugs in engine and transmission control units; Lack of electric seat adjustability; No puddle lights
Pros Awesome turbo five-cylinder, planted yet playful chassis, lovely cabin.
Cons More engine noise please, big price for a small car, cramped back seat.
