cant say good...cant say bad...either way i not permitted to sell it...so..kinda stuck with it..

used to it liao....but compare to my iswara...the difference is obvious....so does the power of cos..

i admit the maintenance abit heavy on the wallet..plus as a daily car..the fc kinda high..spare parts aint cheap..ya can get from potong shop..but i prefer new ones..engine service need to find those qualified merc workshop..or else..lotsa side prob gonna appear if simply giv any foreman to service it...in the end more money spend...depends on individual actually...but for a fresh grad..is more like a burden...unless the previous owner really take good care of the car..
