► Summary
Quite a large offer on the market. Most cars, however, have a rich accident history. The purchase prices are generally attractive, but you have to take into account the high costs of possible repairs. Objections are raised by the quality of the interior trim and the noise that spoils the driving experience. Attractive design Lots of damaged cars Poor visibility
