Bought a used model in great condition last year. 9.3 l/100 km efficiency is surprisingly good for this class. The handling in corners is very safe. No regrets so far, extremely happy with my purchase.

Got this car a few months ago. The 224 Hp @ 3800 rpm. hp feels more than enough for daily driving. The handling in corners is very safe. If you are thinking about buying one, go test drive it.
