Summary
What does this car say about you?
It is Arctic white with black glass Open Sky and privacy rear windows . This colour / style S-Line combination is now very popular so my car still looks up to date and smart. It is Arctic White - NOT fridge white.

Will consider plug in Hybrid like Audi A3 e-tron, Lexus 400 hybrid or Porsche Macan diesel.
