James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Superbly refined for a little car
- Effortless, linear power delivery
- Adaptive dampers offer plush ride – even on 20s
Misses
- Numerous alternatives offer better value and/or range for similar/less money
- Compromised rear seat and small-ish boot due to battery packaging
- EQ design elements may polarise
