I want to know if there are specific common faults to look for in this specific model. Especially, since the weather where I do live is hot, harsh and humid 8 months a year. (could reach 51 C !!!!)

Also, I want to know how is the air conditioning in this car, is it cold enough in the hot summer?

What's air conditioning?

Can you not test drive one

And this car being a 2.4 diesel, does it have good off-roading potential in soft sand hills?
