Hi there,
We haven't received any negative feedback from these models. Engine size could make a difference to what you would be using the vehicle for. A 1.5 might be a little under powered if you are wanting to load the vehicle up and drive out of town on trips, but great as a round town commute. As the Axela is an import, servicing and how it has been treated is very important, also under body rust is something to look out for.
