(150 euros for car tax and 500 for insurance...)
despite the ridiculus underpower engine (I have so much pshycological complex of this while I talk whit americans off course...you can call it "small dick sindrome" :D), despite the 13,5 seconds that i need for reach 100 km/h (with favorable wind) I think that I love my first chevy, its beautiful, its white, its a sedan, its american (not for the power ok) it has 4 wheels and a good interiors and handling. And 500 liters of trunk capacity.
Fuel economy of the 1.2 petrol is similar of 1.4 turbo i think: 7.1 liters every 100 kilometers in the city.
merry christmas to all
paolo
