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

Maserati Levante

It has been with me for a few years and I have to say it's one of my favorite cars to drive around but again you have to be careful with it because Indian roads aren't that accessible. I love my car.
