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.

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day
