What owners actually said

Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.

“White interior is hard to maintain, atleast door pad should have kept black like N10. BUT main diff in N11 is that it has FDD shock absorbers which makes it a brilliant upgrade for only 20k extra(leatherette seat cover, 16" alloys, tyres and better suspension for 20k extra is deal of the century).”
