Good but not great, needs major improvement to compete w/ other brands
Over all the car is decent, I’m not in love with it as I feel there are areas that need major improvement. There are noticeable gaps in the build, especially around the hood, which appears misaligned and has a large gap. Inside the vehicle, similar issues exist with the molding, which shows uneven spacing in several areas.When lifted, the windshield wipers scrape against the hood, leading to paint damage, a design flaw that could have been easily avoided. It’s disappointing that wireless Apple CarPlay isn’t available on this model, especially considering it’s basically a standard feature in many vehicles. It’s also unclear why a sunroof isn’t offered, particularly when it is available on the automatic version of the same model. The speakers are decent, but the voice control system seems to focus on the driver’s side, which negatively impacts the overall sound balance in the cabin.The key fob feels unnecessarily large and bulky. It’s confusing why the key isn’t integrated into the fob if it’s going to be this big, instead now theirs two separate components a step backward in design. Additionally, the fob feels a bit cheap for what’s supposed to be one of the brand’s higher-end models. There’s even a blank button on the fob, which may be used for remote start in other models. Instead of just swapping the logo on the back and removing features, the fob should be uniquely designed for this model or at least retain functional parity.
