      The engine's pulling power isn't enough when climbing hills. However, it's comfortable for long trips with 5 people. So far, it has driven only 80,000 kilometers.

      It has good performance and low maintenance. It is comfortable for a middle-class family, with features like a smooth steering wheel, comfortable seats, good gearbox, and more. It also has a classic look, good mileage, and better performance than other companies.

      Yes, I really like this car. My experience has been great — the driving is smooth, and it comes with good accessories like seat belts for safety. I’m planning to purchase the white color model. The handling is excellent, and overall, I simply love my car.
