The key to the start - and the car confidently accelerates, there is a perfect response between the accelerator pedal and the engine. The suspension has become somewhat stiffer, due to the use of new shock absorbers and springs. The front suspension is a classic McPherson with a stabilizer bar, and the rear is a semi-independent beam, which ultimately gives the perfect balance between mid-range comfort and sports car stability.

The steering is equipped with an electric power, thanks to fine-tuning the steering wheel in urban operation is incredibly light, and at high speed you feel the necessary effort to control the track of movement.

ABS, traction control, electronic differential lock, hydraulic braking assistant, tire pressure sensor are responsible for traffic safety - all this allows you to conquer the expanses of city roads and freeways with complete confidence.
