Throttle response inconsistent at low revs, very soft clutch bite point, and slow-witted auto handbrake make pulling away from a standstill difficult. The car is always either nearly stalling or over revving. Love everything else about the car, very efficient, ride is well balanced, tech all works well and has actual real buttons instead of being touchscreen controlled.

I am unable to crawl along slowly in 2nd gear like in any other car I have driven. The car feels like I am trying to drive at 5 mph in 4th gear and I have to change down to 1st gear even though the car is still moving.

Nice car to drive. Well spec'd which is nice. For the money I pay each month I could have done a lot worse. So pretty happy.

I like this one. Feels well built and is economical. I would call it functional and practical. Perfect for what we need.
