      The car performs well, is comfortable, and offers good safety features. However, maintenance is high and mileage is low, but overall, it is a good car.

      Mileage is excellent during long drives. Other features are good except the headlights. The headlights are not very powerful and should be improved. Otherwise, driving at night becomes difficult. The rear AC should also be made stronger.
