Test drives are very difficult to get here so I cannot give you any driving impressions. Attached you will find the photo’s I took at the dealer this morning.
Keep up the good work, Roman, Andre, Nathan, Emme and Tommy.
My info:
I’m a retired American living full time in Cancun with my wife and 3 dogs. We have lived here for 8 years. I am 70 and my wife Suzie is 71. I was a mechanical design engineer and Suzie was a registered nurse. We are both from the NW suburbs of Chicago. Cars have been my life long passion having owned 50 cars since 1964. We are also both certified scuba divers. We currently own a 2008 Ford Escape XLT 4WD.
