I've been driving my own Besturn X40 for almost two years now, equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The driving experience is quite smooth, with responsive acceleration in city driving and sufficient power for highway overtaking. The average fuel consumption is around 7.5 to 8 liters, which is very practical for a commuter like me. This powertrain is well-designed and mature, with simple maintenance—just regular oil and filter changes at a low cost. The transmission, supplied by Japan's Aisin, offers good stability without any jerking during long-distance traffic jams. Overall, it's suitable for family use and daily commuting, and opting for the manual transmission version could be even more fuel-efficient.
