Overall reliability

Poor quality of the car

1. This car does not have any protection under the car except under the motor.
2. It is a very heavy car, disproportionated load front to back
3. Poor insulation and high level of the noise inside
4. The gear shift is not centered (location more towards left)
5. The 1.6l engine seems to be a bit too small ( i believe that one of 1.8 with a bot more power should be better)
6. The GPS screen is very small
7. Inside design is a bit basic.
8. Seat quality is poor - the cover is moving on the chairs.
9. The overall quality is not the one that I had expected from a Japanese manufacturer.
10. I am recommending better Japanese cars (Toyota, Honda)
