Most Helpful Review

Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 450d AMG Line

It's a nice driving experience with top-class mileage in this segment, the pickup of this car is at the top-notch level, but I found one drawback that is, its price is much higher then it's features.

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.
