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
