WHAT’S IT GO LIKE?
Not bad. The auto must be adaptive because it gets better with each outing. The suspension has been tuned for Australian conditions which is always a big plus. Testing was undertaken in Australia for the optimum suspension combination, together with revised mapping of the control unit on the Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS). SAFETY Gets a full 5 stars for safety with six airbgs. The sophisticated Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) integrates all of the safety systems in the car. The object is to help maintain vehicle control by applying variable input to steering weight. This helps prevents the over-correction by the driver in an emergency situation by making the wheel harder to turn. GOODIES About the only thing missing which you can’t get as an accessory is satellite navigation, but they are so cheap these days who cares. Premium model comes with leather, two zone climate air, Bluetooth for mobiles and audio streaming, full iPod connectivity with two 12 volt outlets and the front seats are even heated - how good’s that?
