The green areas are where air can actually enter and flow through the radiator. In addition to that, the lower grill has the shutter system, so it can almost completely block off airflow to the radiator which has to be good for warm up time.
The trunk was also quite spacious which I was a bit surprised by. You can't tell from looking at the outside. The interior styling is also very nice IMO. The coutoured dash is a little flashy, but looks good.
The only disappointing thing I saw was the rear seat room wasn't that great (less than my 04 Prius).
Overall though, a very nice car. |
It is a much bigger car than the old focus which makes the 40mpg all the more impressive. I didn't have a chance to sample the back seat. Hopefully the wagon is on the way.
