Pros: Just a good car for level roads.
Pros: The dynamics is ok, but no more.
Consumption in city economical driving mode is around 7 litres per 100 km in summer, and around 8 litres in winter, around 6.5 litres on the motorway.
The suspension is stiff, therefore the car steers very good. The interior is bit narrow, but well made. Quality of the materials is excellent, feels like a premium class car. The only bad thing is that the plastic is too fragile - it is easy to scratch.
Cons: Do not feel any gain from electric engine, apparently the heavy hybrid system is to blame.
Pros: The dynamics are not like a race car, but overall the car is quite peppy. Driving comfort is top-notch - it feels like driving a ship. The suspension copes well with small bumps and cracks and even more or less large potholes, but the ground clearance is low. Fuel consumption is around 13 litres in the city, a few litres more in winter. On the motorway, it's usually around 7 litres. There's plenty of room in front. The rear is narrow for tall passengers of above-average height.
Cons: Weak lights

Pros: Perfect car
Pros: Comfortable and high quality interior, good looks even despite its age, and excellent driving characteristics. The car is very stable on the move - it stays firmly on the road, even at high speeds, and responds instantly to steering inputs. The engine and gearbox are perfectly matched. Consumption is around 18 litres in the city with active driving, but if you drive quietly you can get away with 15 litres.
Pros: The repair of rolling stock shall not be required only disadvantage - low clearance. The city, country - so so... The interior and comfort good.
Cons: After 10 years of operation need to change ignition bobbins all cylinders - 6 pcs.
