      5.0
      The vehicle is great for both driving a family around and for highways. It has great mileage and the vehicle responds well. It certainly is not a racing car but there is enough torque for the hills. It is ideal for cruising along at around 100kmph on the highways. The view from inside is great. The roof window is good at night and in the early mornings. Driving is easy, only you will sometimes forget to move to the 6th gear at times. Climate control is a great feature in our country and the car does not feel like a refrigerator. A comfortable 26-27 C will make the journey comfy. 3 mid-size people will fit in comfortably in the rear and the NVH levels are good. The intuitive dynamic color in the speedometer ensures you are driving correctly. The ICE is good and the sound is clear. Easy to get in and get out is what my mother likes a lot. The fog lamps is not good. The rest of the lights are nice.
