You get 7kW more (now 57kW), while torque remains the same at 104Nm.

If you open and close the doors and/or tailgate or tap the headliner with your fingertips, you're more than likely to hear just how thin and insubstantial they are.The finishing of the parcel shelf is less than desirable with poorly glued parts already coming undone on this new test unit.

No reminder needed about how it fared previously. Even though the switchgear looks and feels "toy-like", the driver’s cabin is arguably of acceptable quality for a budget car at this price range. On the automaker's local website, under the tab marked Safety, a headline states: “Prevention is better than cure.”We agree — and for that reason, we would point you elsewhere if you are in the market for a small automatic under R200,000.
