Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Petrol / gas, from Italy. The only downside - the gas equipment is put in Italy and here in Latvia no one can connect to the brain of this type of equipment (started switching itself from petrol and gas). All this time since I have used the car, I have done nothing more (nothing !!!) than brake maintenance (replacement of pads, discs)! And they are around 185,000 km!
Cons: A bit of a rattling of panel, but this is probably due to the fact that the car has been damaged. Rear view camera turns on slowly

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A good safe, durable car. Comfortable seating, luggage capacity is also great, lowering chairs have driven a lot of long boards.
I had VW, Ford, Opel and another one Honda - Honda is 10x better than others. I don't service this car very accurately, taking it to mechanic only when something fails completely, but it serves me very well.

Pros: Robust, technically reliable. A great design for the year. Good handling, firm on the road. Relatively spacious interior, also in the rear, capacity good enough for this class.
Cons: Lots of plastic parts on the outside, which are low and easy to wrap. Repairs are not very cheap. Suspension relatively hard, but it gives good handling.

Pros: A sedan, great handling, powerful enough - a noticeable difference from the 1.6 petrol engine. Very economical, especially when using the ECO button - average consumption 8-9l with Autogas, 7l with petrol.
Cons: A very small detail - it would require a button on the tailgate to open (have to use remote control or a button in the cabin)
