Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Impressive across all metrics
- Hugely practical cabin
- One of the last of the breed
Misses
- Fiddly capacitive controls won't be for everyone
- Needs options to feel complete
- $60,000 isn't really 'affordable' anymore
