The car developed & quot; zero & quot ;, ranging as possible, with every imaginable at the time technological advances. There was power steering, adjustable wheel, full power - and not just central locking and elektrosteklopodemniki, and power seats, both front and back of the sofa, as well as electrically heated seats and climate control.
