Overview and Common Failures

Body and Interior The paint coating is thin and quickly gets chipped, but the body is galvanized. The plastic interior is rigid, but it doesn't squeak or wear out quickly. The sound insulation is weak, and the air conditioning operates quite loudly. Engine The 1.6-liter engine performed well on Crete, while the new 2.0-liter engine is a novelty. It's interesting to see if the manufacturer has solved the issues with their power units and excessive wear. Transmission The manual gearbox and automatic transmission have stood the test of time and are known for their reliability. The robotic transmission here is quite jerky, and how the new continuously variable transmission will perform is still unknown. Suspension It's too early to talk about problems with the suspension, steering, or braking system.
