Test drove one on the weekend - very impressed with the quality and overall fitout. In drives better than a MAZDA 6 and HONDA EURO - feels more refined.
It lacks the grunt of the MAZDA and the HONDA but is definitely smoother and handles MUCH better. It is also smaller than the MAZDA. The XLS that I drove had the sunroof - I had to lower the seat all the way down to ensure I wouldn't hit my head on the roof lining. With the sunroof option - rear passengers over 5'10 - 5'11 will be close to the roof. I'm 5'10 and I was on the verge for comfortable headroom in the rear.
The Jetta is similar overall dynamically - but much stronger engine - but doesn't look or ride as nice. In fact - this car looks sensational from certain angles. And the Jetta is considerably more for similar spec as the KIZASHI XLS.
I am thinking of buying one. This car looks to have the goods.
