    4CAR RATING:

    Assets
    Ease of access, sliding rear seats, electrically-operated doors beneficial in confined spaces and for the disabled, excellent crash test results, changeable interior.

    Drawbacks
    Weighty door mechanisms blunt performance, high-speed instability, sluggish automated manual gearbox, only four seats and they lack versatility, expensive.

    Verdict
    It's not sure whether it's a supermini, a mini-MPV or a city car, and adequately fulfils the roles of none. Seemingly designed around and compromised by its electric sliding doors, which you pay for the privilege of having. Not a bad car, but an expensive one, a slow one, and not a very big one for the money. It answers a question that we're not sure anybody asked.
