  • The most comfortable and economical car.

    I have recently purchased my new SUV from Premium Auto Sales. It is my second successful visit to this place. I have purchased another car from this dealership and received excellent service. Sales people were very friendly, helpful and professional. I will defiantly recommend Premium Auto Sales to my family and friends. Thank you so much for your outstanding service!

  • best car i ever owned after owning 5 cars during 4

    this car is comfortable, ecological, economical, and can be sporty-amazing! if i drive 55 to 65 miles speed it needs only 5,8 liters even if aircon, stereo etc is on. even if i drive 100 miles per hour it just consumes 7,5 liters and 8,4 liters at 140 miles. the stereo feels like in a concert hall
