      Sales desperate company. Keep on changing their ideas, model, price etc. frequently. Be careful during the purchase or you may hav some loss. Negotiate and examine all things they offer including price.Vehicle is just OK. Do not expect fuel efficiency at all. Back seat is not comfortable at all. Driving seat is comfortable.
