The A-Star looks far better in person then in the pics. It retains the side profile from the concept but the from and rear looks have been changed. The from really looks nice but the rear looks ugly with the bumber being wide and the tail gate being small.
The engine is all new KB Series 1.0 liter, which is quite responsive and very good for city runabouts.
The biggest let down is the internal space. It is as cramped as the current alto.
