A few tech oversights (no HUD, DAB, electric seats or wireless charger); A claustrophobic back seat; Smaller, sloped boot; Limited rear visibility; Feels underpowered at higher speeds
The CVT is very well sorted and enjoyable to drive, too; Cabin space and ergonomics are excellent; Ride is brilliant and engine is efficient, too

Interior feels old; There are better engines available elsewhere; Won't offend anyone
Plenty of driver-assistance tech; Well suited to urban driving; Turbo/AWD option is available; Love or loathe the looks, they're certainly distinctive...
