Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Reliable if properly used, low fuel consumption, very spacious, very comfortable, practical. Parts are always available because it is a direct copy VW Sharan, for small engine 1.9 TDI relatively good dynamics.
Cons: Very expensive engine repairs if previous owner doesn't understand what oil should be used. Copnditioner repair is a nightmare.
