Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A small car fit for the city, where it´s a good vehicle that can be parked into tight spots compared to sedans and wagons. It´s cheap in maintenance in terms of parts, and fuel consumption. Good for shorter drives, so if you don´t have a long way to work or family/friends this is a pretty good option.
Cons: Is uncomfortable on long drives (I drive 80km+ to work). Gets loud in the cabin during trips on the highway. Feels light in windy weather. Not very ergonomic standard seats. If your country salt roads, look out for rust if buying one. Can feel small if your tall and/or have long legs.

Pros: Small, neat and easy to park.
