Very powerful and sporty car! Despite automatic transmission without switching to sports mode it will accelerate very quickly. Economical, eat less than shows, even if not trying to go frugal. Fantastic manoeuvrability, bends and overtaking gives pleasure to drive. Huge boot, all i wanted was to fit: baby carriages, wheelchair, 4 bags of wood and a few bricks packages. Transformable rear seats gives a sleeping area, if any reasons to stay in car :D
Car fantasticly responds to all activities, driving is fun! Front seats, heated in winter - never will be with frozen ass. Serves very well. For sales prices, and car options, equipment and quality, it is likely to be a bargain, if you will follow technical condition of car, it will require very little investment!
As sporty car it won't be quite comfortable for long people at back of car, but car seats super comfortable. Unfortunately, car has only 4 seats, but if you are not family person like me, then this powerful beast would be appropriate! Original mirrors are funny, shows askew :D If car body is not in galvanised rust somewhere appears. Perhaps the car is too powerful for me, especially when leg is "slightly heavy": p :D

Comfortable driving, good dynamics, a large boot.
Rust protected because of galvanized body. It looks much more expensive than cost. Interior does not rattle. Rare servicing.
Non economical in city ~ 13 L / 100km
Certain parts are difficult to get, or expensive from official retailer.
