Area of interest:

The seats are supportive and thanks to reach and height adjustment for the steering wheel, it’s easy to get comfortable. It helps that the driver’s seat height is adjustable too, but entry-level cars don’t come with such adjustment for the passenger seat. But, the layout of buttons is confusing and fiddly compared with many rivals.
