Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: I like the hatchback design, both exterior and interior, stylish. Likes quiet engine operation and driving characteristics. Relatively durable, cheap to repair, does not rust, even now the 18-year-old has not rusted much.
Cons: Poor electrical contacts, both ABS and Airbag, as well as lighting. Headlamps should be polished every 2 years.
