Pros: Good consumption. When driving with a roof rack, consumption either does not change or is minimal. Pretty brisk. Warm up quickly in winter. During these years, there have been every year in Poland (for a few years even 3-4 times), Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Lithuania, Estonia. Every year in the summer for 10 - 12 days traveled through these countries. As somebody has already written, if it were possible to get such a new one, then without thinking it would take.
Cons: There may have been a slightly higher ground clearance, the boot lid was expensive to replace (used in normal condition - 200 €), the parking brake cables had to be changed regularly, the rear passenger windows sweat in wet weather, and if lowered, they cause unpleasant vibrations in the air when driving on the track.
