I drove the base car yesterday quiet, impressive acceleration, easy to shift, lots of driver and front passenger room, huge trunk and spare tire space.
Had an issue with the getting out of reverse, the gear lever migrates to 3rd gear, a deliberate effort to find 1st gear is needed. I had the same problem with the i20 I drove recently for 4,000 km as a rental.
I would go for the LX plus model which includes AC, remote entry and cruise. Dealership in Vancouver offers free oil changes and car washes for 5 years.
Overall a very impressive package
