1.5 Titanium (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    1) GREAT driving position !
    2) GREAT suspension setup ! it feels better than a bmw 320i !
    3) Never tested the water wading capability, but if its better than a Land Rover Defender, it must be good !
    4) I think the brakes are quite decent.
    5) There is alot of storage space
    6) The air-cond is really good !
    7) It has good looks ! Can stand at least a decade with it.
    8) A lot or airbags which i wish i'll never use !
    1) The fuel consumption is like my previous honda city 1.5. Need to refuel about every 4 days use. But i guess this depends on the driving. I have 11ltr/100km currently.
    2) The gearbox is noisy "a bit" and the engine too. The worst thing is that they are not smooth at all. It seems not to understand my pedal play. When im moving out from traffic, the gearbox never gives me a linear power delivery. Sometimes i need to press the pedal more, which results in a lower gear, which results in a jerky start.
    3) I wish i had a rear view camera as standard. Maybe even a good infotainment system.
    4) THE INTERIOR COLOUR ! i hate grey. cant they use the current fiesta dashboard/interior black theme ?
    5) The boot swings to the left, i wish it can just flip up. makes things a whole lot easier.
    6) The sunroof could be made with a child safe/pressure sensor. Im having nightmares of heads decapitated by it. Now ive warned my kids to never play with that without supervision.
To Improve
1) Please install the safety device for the sunroof.
2) Please have a proper dvd-playable infotainment system. My kids live off those.
3) Please sort out the gearbox
4) Please make the engine quieter. My old honda city has ninja-like engines.
5) Please make the interiors black. Looks so much better
Yes, I would recommend this car
