DRIVE TIME:

Man, this is a DRIVER's ORIENTED CAR.  It has Excellent NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness).  It also comes standard with AUDI A4 like Ride and handling.  There were 5 of us on board, whack a Hairpin at 90km/h with little Body-roll and still comfortable.   Thanks to the Front McPherson and rear Multi-link suspension setup.  Suspension is slightly stiffer than Sonata yet still strike a balance of JUST Right Comfort.

 Power delivery is smooth and linear, DEFINITELY NOT Underpowered.   Being a GDI with DUAL CVVT, the car's Quite powerful, 0-100km/h in 9.7 seconds only.  Claimed Top speed is 210km/h.  It managed a respectable 7.5l/100km fuel consumption.  This means 70litres tank's good for 700km city and 900km highway.

CONCLUSION:

RATING: 9/10.

This is the MOST ALL ROUNDED and VALUE FOR MONEY D-Segment car.  Please come over to test drive this OUTSTANDING car to agree with me! Location, Setia Alam/Seri Kembangan.
