I once read an article from Autocar ASEAN where a local writer wrote a comparison between the Suprima S and the mk7 Golf. He was very daring to mention the Suprima S is close to Golf, although there are obvious weakness as what sportyhandling had pointed out.

A few issues later, that writer seems no longer with the magazine

I would think the Suprima S will struggle when compared to Kia C'eed or Hyundai i30. It should benchmark against i30 if they really want to be serious.
