Now is the time to get behind the wheel of a compact, engine-driven sedan 1.0 TSI petrol with 95 horsepower and 175 Nm maximum torque. A pusher too more brilliant than you can imagine, with a smart run, to overcome the intersection or pass without making any effort. Always keeping in mind that we are behind the wheel of an unassuming sports car, which makes comfort a strong point.

From this point of view, there are no negative aspects to report, given that it is a car that can deliver the best sound blocking, even at higher speeds on the road, and wisely absorb the connections of the terrain, even if the most pronounced ones are heard a little inside the passenger compartment. Just as good as it is to be known, front and rear, small and only five passengers.
