  Hey everyone! If you're looking for a reliable family car to get from point A to B comfortably, you can definitely consider the Excel 6. It performs well, handles everyday needs with ease, and is overall a great choice. I’ve driven 36,000 kilometers in the last four years, and it’s been a smooth experience. The only thing to keep in mind is during servicing—just make sure to double-check the bill and parts with your service manager. Other than that, it’s a solid, dependable vehicle. I’d absolutely recommend it for family use. Thank you
