Most helpful review

My experience.

I used the car, it's looking attractive and smooth for driving. Its interior space is also very good. Feel comfortable with long drives. Interior space is good for the family. This is a value for money.

Best car for first time buyers

The best thing about the car is 'what you pay and what you get' ratio. I took a non-turbo XE and asked for infotainment system with a reverse cam and extended warranty. It costed a 30k extra. The car came with all accessories like mudflaps, floor mat, body cover etc. Car is spacious and driving is very pleasant. Rather than buying a small hatchback and changing it in the next 5-8 years again, go for this.
