General Comments:

This car in Iran known as Saipa GLXi or Pride GLXi,

This car is very easy to own.

But when you get in and drive it a little on roads and highways, you will find that it is uncomfort & unsmooth ride.

There are lots of noise from dashboard & the whole body.

When you have 3 passengers or more, the car don't tend to move and it's like a turtle.

But when you are alone it is so good for acceleration up to 60km/h.

After sales service is too bad, it has a guaranty for 36000km, but when you complain about wrong items in service shop they didn't change the warranty items.

Top speed for this car is good, I drive it by maximum 155km/h and it was like a bird in the air not on the road.

It must have a power steering and better suspension system for better performance.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Shock absorbers after only 4000 kilometer? Must have very rough roads.

More likely it was off roaded. Lots of mountains in Iran.
