My experience will be based on the Diesel version, manual that I drove for a day.
The car has all the safety equipment that you need or that assists you with safe driving.
AV system is excellent as well and gives you a great experience.
Built quality feels solid and you get a good thud upon shutting it's door. Interior quality is decent but comes with squeaks and rattles.
Handling is great, ride comfort is decent as well, but on undulating roads, there is a lot of roll due to its stiff suspension.
The clutch travel is extremely hard and can be a pain in stop-go traffic. Gears slot in well but do have a roughness to it, and definitely not as smooth as Hyundai's.
Boot space is excellent and quite versatile. It takes up groceries of up to 6 months to give you a general idea.
The engine is excellent and drives well. It's got a strong pull, with little lag at lower speeds.
Overall, this is a great car, but you would need to get an automatic for city drives.
Fuel efficiency was decent as well.
