Worst car I ever bought

April 28, 2021

By Disappointed customer from Worcester Massachusetts

Used to own this car

Is noisy, uncomfortable; not good for long rides because you will end up in the ER with a very bad headache; you need noise blockers.

Very Nice car.

August 1, 2019

By Paulg from Miami,Florida

Owns this car

This car needs more legroom in the back and more USB ports. The 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is awsome in sport mode but very sluggish in Drive.
