There is a lot of mixed opinions about the car and I dont blame people for that, at least we arabs do get sentimental at times :

its a very rare car, i don't remember when was the last time i saw a 31, if its very clean go for it, and you should try to search in oman's market, because the car is very popular there more than any place the gcc

Soon, I will post the full review.. The base interior being offered here might not impress many people at least after looking at the AED95K price..

Here is a preliminary review:

Still the real awkward bit about the interior is the lack of an arm-rest on center console

I tried that in the fiat 500. Im not used to this , its not comfortable to sit without arm-rest. But guess what I found in this forum:
