I've been driving a 135 kW car and find it very practical, which converts to roughly 180 horsepower—more than enough for daily use. It accelerates quickly without guzzling fuel during city commutes, averaging 7-9L/100km, which is quite economical. On highways, overtaking is effortless; just press the throttle and it pushes forward smoothly, handling inclines with ease whether carrying passengers or heavy loads. I remember driving a 90 kW car before—it was slower off the mark, but the 135 kW version feels much more comfortable, especially inspiring confidence on rainy days or mountain roads. The downside? It wastes some fuel in stop-and-go traffic, but for weekend getaways, it's absolutely fantastic—responsive and never sluggish. Overall, it strikes a perfect balance between performance and cost for family users, eliminating the need to chase higher power.
