The $43,490 price tag will earn you all the goodies on the Active and Allure trim levels, but add genuine niceties like LED headlights and fog lights and some poshed-up exterior design elements like stainless steel scuff plates, twin exhaust tips and scrolling indicator lights, as well configurable interior lighting.
It's the same petrol-only engine as the cheaper models, though; a turbocharged 1.6-litre unit good for 121kW and 240Nm. That power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. It will sip a claimed 7.0L/100km on the combined economy cycle.
The GT Line gets the very best safety gear though, adding to the Active and Allure's six airbags, speed-limit-recognition system and distance alert (which warns if you you're too close to the car in front), and adding an active lane keep assist function, adaptive cruise with complete stop, active blind spot detection and auto high beams to the kitty.

Andrew Chesterton
Contributing Journalist
Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold.
But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul.
And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard.
When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House.
But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others.
More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
