Would recomend this car to the friend
Fast, economical, good maneuverability, tight and steady on the road. Yes, also a visually sympathetic and solid machine. Requires relatively small investments.
There is no such downside. The only thing my model doesn't have a niche, a pocket where to put a mobile.

A powerful, comfortable and reliable car. No fear of winter, all-wheel drive works perfectly. If you keep up with all the maintenance, no problems.
Rust appears after 9 Latvian winters.
