      Materials as well as fit and finish levels are good, making the cabin feel classy. Engine feels strong and powerful enough to propel the car in various driving scenarios but it?s the transmission that dulls the experience forcing one to be light with the throttle usage. Any attempt at aggressive throttle inputs and the rubber band effect becomes prominent.
