Switched from a different brand. 8.3-8.6 l/100 km efficiency is surprisingly good for this class. The handling in corners is very safe. If you're undecided, just go for it.

Bought a used model in great condition last year. Engine performance exceeded my expectations. Sound insulation is great, very quiet cabin at high speeds. If you are thinking about buying one, go test drive it.
