Base engine setup lacks bottom end oomph for a quick throttle response in street driving.Feel of the brake pedal is not consistent when braking often.Advanced safety and driver aids aren’t extensive as its bigger SUV siblings.No safety ratings from major testing organizations mean crash survivability is in question.Harsh ride quality in slow speeds where road imperfections were not absorbed enough by the suspension.Legroom and headroom isn’t as spacious compared to its bigger SUV siblings.Optional sunroof takes away headroom and can feel more cramped for the taller passengerSpace for cargo isn’t the roomiest in its class.
