The car is very beautiful, just soooooo much. That is its first big plus. On the front and on the side it is a predatory Mazda shark, and on the back it looks like Alfa Romeo. The color is Machine Grey, and in my opinion, it looks much better on this model than even the original red. The plastic overlays are almost invisible, and the dirt smears evenly. You can see it on a car clipart:

The second thing that distinguishes it from the crowd of cars in traffic is the dynamics. A 2 liter and 150 hp is enough for such a baby. If you press the pedal a little bit - it flies out from under a bum. The main thing is to have time to catch it with your steering wheel, otherwise it occasionally doesn't know where it is going. Well, you'll get stares of everybody in a traffic jam. There are not many cars like this, everyone is interested. One particularly looked almost met the rear bumper. Goes into turns like a cast, you don't even need to reduce the speed, you don't even feel the speed on the highway. If it were not for projection, one would not know that he goes 170, not straining.
A separate big plus is comfort of front seats. You sit down, and life is good and it is good to live. Everything is pleasant to the touch, looks expensive, it is pleasant to press the buttons and the turn signal purrs, just like on a car clipart above. The factory noise in the interior is excellent, you hear only yourself and the Russian radio. Informativeness of all systems - at a level. The sound is excellent, even in Active configuration. The screen works without nagging and like clockwork. Navigation in it I did not buy, but with Apple map works perfectly standard iPhone card, no inconvenience is not experiencing a trip.
The only thing, either the skis are not going, or I'm slow - I can not figure out how to turn on the headlight washer. Well, nothing, I'll get to the showroom and ask to show.
About the "off-road qualities". Well, it is a cross-coupe, I did not expect much, especially from the front wheel drive. But it pleased me. It huffs and puffs in snow, tries, but it climbs. In a rut, of course, ice chips tickle my belly, but it is not critical. The underside is completely closed, nothing breaks off. Climb the curb easily. In short, in the city and in the nearest suburb the trifle will cope with all the tasks. But I won't get into the mud and snowdrift, as on RAW4, with it of course. But it is while I feel sorry for it.
From the minuses.
- 1 children, midgets, and not very big people in an amount of 1,5, well, a maximum of 2 people will sit down behind. Well, enough for me with a baby, and for the rest of us there are buses.
- The trunk - hug and cry. Shovel, brushes, folding chair, tent and bowlers moved into the car to my husband. He is now the happy owner of the rumble boxes in the trunk. In the change is placed a light stroller, well, the result of a small shopping trip. Well, the car is not for transportation of oversized cargoes. Although, if you fold the rear seats - you can stuff a lot of things.
- The most annoying for me - the front windows. How to clean them? All scrapers do not get into these loopholes near the mirrors, I do not feel comfortable cleaning from drips. Have to go to the car wash more often.
- On the open highway in a straight line, if the wind blows - it is very lurching and literally blows off the road. And also a wave from the van and other huge cars.
