Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: I drive 2017 GT Line 1.6 petrol.
Mileage is 46,000 km so far.
Pros - good external noise insulation, 4x4 works meaningfully. The interior of the car is pleasant, tools layout is convenient.
Cons: Cons - no surprise, but still - fuel consumption 8.7-8.9 l / 100km. The automatic gearbox sometimes tends to catch up, especially at the start of the run (accelerator is pressed but nothing happens). At low minus degrees in winter, the legs are frozen. Windows sweat , then you have to turn on additional fans that create tremendous noise.
