7.3

James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- 450Nm is a lot of torque for a little car
- Characterful soundtrack
- Big boot
Misses
- Lazy diffs make it feel clumsy in bends
- Adaptive cruise optional, no blind-spot or rear cross-traffic alert
- Stiff ride can be a pain in town
