Chevrolet Kalos reviews
Pros: Very comfortable for driver, who has just acquired his licence. Good as city car. Cheap replacement parts. If yearly coveredr with anti-rust materials, do not corrode hardly at all. High clearance. Despite small size, roomy interior - can be loaded a washing machine or two levels bed. Not popular for thieves, so insurance costs are low.
Cons: Loud at higher speeds. Separate component assembly quality is weak. A weak level of security. Small fuel tank. The high speeds very unstable, especially on rough roads.
