Drivers Information Screen
I have to say I was impressed by the little car. It had decent safety systems (some were part of an additional Package) including Blind Spot Warning and Lane Keeping and Lane Assist, and the latter was quite active, in a good way. The car handled very well, and was almost like driving a go cart in many ways, it gave me the same kind of feeling. On the road driving in normal conditions, you could feel the bumps in the road but I would say that’s par for course with any small wheelbase car, and it had an expected amount of sound insulation and road noise was present especially on the highway. Seating was comfortable and I liked the design in the seats.
There was an analog tach and engine temp gauge on the left with an analog speedometer and fuel gauge on the far left with a digital information screen in-between. The DIS (Drivers Information Screen) was about 4.2 inches and contained a reasonable amount of information one could scroll through and somethings were configurable. What I liked most was how the numbers on the RPM and
Speedometer were spaced apart and in large font, so going 40 mph would put the speedometer almost halfway around the dial, made you feel like you were going faster.
Infotainment Screen
The screen itself was 8” and had physical buttons below it including power, volume, tune and scroll. The system itself was packed with some very nice features including the background sound options as you see on the screen above as well as Apple Car Play, Android Auto (both wired), Bluetooth, AM, FM and HD Radio, and Navigation, plus voice command and voice pass-through to use Siri or Google Assistant. So for being a car on the cheaper end of the Priceline, it was as well equipped as many more expensive cars. The sound system left a bit to be desired, but to be expected I think in a car at this price point.
Overall I really enjoyed driving the car and was impressed with how it handled, and all the safety systems it had, plus all the features on the infotainment screen.
