Callout:
In THE CABIN Spacious and user-friendly
space
age
Bottom of the windshield pushed forward to maximise interior space.
interior design
Cabin has nice blend of contemporary and traditional cues.
gear-stalk
Tall stick of the gearshift juts out and is an eyesore in an otherwise
neat layout.
ergonomics
Primary and secondary controls all within reach. Sat-nav obviously will
not make it here.
