Dear Matroska,
Thanks a lot for the helpful response and the welcome.
I am traveling SL for vacations and will be using the vehicle on those days to travel long distances.
On the other days my sister will be using the vehicle as a secondary vehicle for short distances (3KM).
Fuel is not much a concern, I will be changing the vehicle again after 3 years where i am concerned about the resale value.
Look and the comfort will be a requirement considering above necessities.
