Bought a used model in great condition last year. Acceleration is punchy and satisfying. The infotainment is fast and lag-free. Definitely a solid choice in this price range.

Finally got the keys today. The engine is snappy, great response time. Sound insulation is great, very quiet cabin at high speeds. If you're undecided, just go for it.
