Classy

Good car to drive because it is very safe on road. Driven cost is also very low ...I.e if you have electric one....it will be running cost efficient.....overall it is a good car to buy.

Best Every day using sports car

Best car money can buy I driven it about 80 km Hybrid mode is amazing in that mode it gave mileage about 60 km per ltr With v8 engine it gave mileage about 8km per ltr The interior is so sporty and luxury The best feature is the roof.
