Sporty, Capable Off-Roading Soft-roader, Sedan like Comfort

I've been driving this cross-over for 8 months now and I enjoy everytime I get behind the wheel. I wanted a soft-roader that took care of my city driving needs and provided decent of-roading capabilities. I wanted three features in my car 4 wheel drive preferably not all time, automatic with sporty drive and cruise control. I engage the cruise control even during city driving (above 40 kmph) and I am surprised by how efficient the drive system and the engine is, I even got 12 kmpl several times.

The suspension is excellent although a bit noisy. The only complaint I have is that the rear left seat vibrates when driving over rough patches, the service engineers haven't been able to fix it. I think it just needs some additional grip at the base harness/lock system. The point in having an automatic system is supposed to keep your left hand free however the turn indicators are on the left of the steering wheel. I guess is this a problem with cars build to export to left hand driving countries. The controls are not invertable.

The engine is very powerful, use the paddle shifters for quick overtaking on the expressway. Tip: You can use the cruise control system to drive the car (Speed/slow down) with just your thumb and give your right foot much deserved rest during long drives.

I found the heated seat usefull when I have a backache.

The car comes with a blow away Rockfort Fosgate 8.1 channel system, you will like it if you are a music lover.

Overall it's a great car it comes with a ton of bells and whistles as standard equipment that most other cars at a comparable price don't even provide as options.

I'll highly recommend this car.
