  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Like taking a yacht out on the road with no breeze to power it.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Some say they go ok, but i think they are too slow and under powered! 1.7 one would be ok.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bullet proof car! Some small troubles, but i think that was due to the mileage.
