its almost same size of civic n corolla, it was made to compete these compact size in Europe n US but with lil more luxuries, I wud not prefer 1.2TFSI engine which is 110hp, I ll prefer 1.4TFSI 140hp for economical as with more torque due to direct injection turbo.....for those who want more power can go for 1.8TFSI 180hp.....still a lot cheaper than brand new merc CLA 180cgi which is 1.6turbo 155hp n cost 7.0m
