With 7.6/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. On technology it rates 9.1/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.

Its value score of 8.1/10 confirms that the price reflects the quality — you're getting a lot for your money here.
