Comfort is what i really love with this car. The AC is so sustainable even in hot summer days, the space is so accommodating even in 5 seating capacity. Most of the time my passengers are so comfortable sleeping in a long drive, no complains with the AC and Space. the engine can took off fast while its carrying heavy loads. the interior is subjective, other prefers a modern look while others sees it a bit outdated. but for me its kinda give you a modern retro style, clean and not noisy feel. the fuel consumption is also economical. this car is perfect for comfort driving experience.
