The review mentions a compact that feels like a mid-size. When looking at the pictures of the rear seat room, it's looks like a compact to me. And I guess we will see in a test drive, but I wonder what the trunk room is compared to other compacts. If the car is successful, for an increased market share, they would be wise to offer the hatch down the road, like the upcoming Elantra, or just like the Forte, offers sedan, hatch, and coupe!
I give them praise on offering 3 different engine choices, but the power ratings don't seem too different, I think to improve cost cutting, eliminate the least used engine. Perhaps the 2.0L, stick with the 1.4L and 2.4L, as the 1.4L has more power and fuel economy than the 2.0L, why keep the 2.0L?
