The reviewer is not an engineer and his comments belay that fact. I suspect that also applies to his ability to evaluate interior materials and long term wear performance. The materials in my P3 have held up extremely well over 7 years.

As a sidenote, if I were considering the B5 I would be more concerned with the Drive-E engine and the B5 hybrid system. The engine was one of Wards best 10 engines when released in 2015.5. Other than an early problem with rings, reliability has been pretty good. Regarding the hybrid system in the model reviewed, I personally would not opt for it. I just don't see the benefit considering added complexity and little savings in fuel consumption.
