    A person reviewing cars must have the quality of conserving his/her objectivity after seeing several cars. If you set yourself to like a car, then when you will review other models that are 'not quite the same' you'll find yourself falling in subjectivity and not seeing the qualities. Also, it's not always smart to always compare things. Just tell us, is the car good enough ? We can then decide if we like the interior, comfort and so on. I have to say, overall the review is missing the point. The interior is not dull, the steering is actually quite fun, this is not a sports coupé, and the rear leg and headroom are absolutely perfect even for tall people, unless the person sitting in front is 6ft or taller. The only point I'll give you is indeed the trunk is small in size. I do recommend people give the car a try before they get brainwashed by these reviews saying "it not as much as the competitors".

Its beautiful and built to take a daily pounding , very low maintenance and plenty of attitude when pushed to the limits, a machine that you must keep lubed so that it won’t leave you stranded when the going gets rough .

    Cars like that may be popular due to poor road maintainance, a cynic might observe. However, they are bound to burn more fuel, just because of their aerodynamic drag and tyre rolling resistance. Even without the sums, it just looks inefficient energy wise - just looking at it tells the story.

    It's funny how after so many years of experience, car designers manage to screw up several details or don't get the basics right. I suggest it is possible to make the perfect car, but too often the latest car is worse in several areas than the car it replaces. I simply don't understand why this happens. A good looking car but not a contender.
