Just picked mine up last week! The engine is snappy, great response time. Sound insulation is great, very quiet cabin at high speeds. Definitely a solid choice in this price range.

Decided on this after deep research. 14.5 l/100 km efficiency is surprisingly good for this class. Sound insulation is great, very quiet cabin at high speeds. If you're undecided, just go for it.
