Exactly as expected to drive. The 2019 1.4 manual copes fine with motorway traffic and overtaking, despite only 140 horse, but it’s light weight circa 1250 kg helps.
Very light steering, certainly not what I’m used to, and the infotainment screen is small, laggy and previous generation. A moderate amount of wind and road noise, but not uncomfortably so...once out of the 50 average speed cameras it cruised fine at an indicated 80/85, and the trip computer showed 56 mpg on the 145 mile drive home.
My past 3 cars have had a HUD, displaying current speed, speed limits, directions, so it’s like stepping back in time. No option in the menu of a digital speed display on the dashboard...I think new models do. I may well buy a digital speedo and mount it on the RHS of the dashboard, wiring it to the USB...the old school dials are not the best, and it would be a useful tool driving across Spain.
A small SUV, good visibility out, economical, practical, does what it says on the tin.
What’s not to like,...given the price.
