Carado has seen over 42000 kilometers of road. I have used it for travelling, but also for daily commuting. I have driven several thousand kilometers in extreme conditions. Last summer was uncommonly hot. Temperature was around +30 Celcius day after day. The heat did not effect on Carado’s performance, but I surely did miss an air conditioning. Previous winter was

My Carado just had a first caravan service. All the joints were inspected and there were no water damages. There was enough sealant and it was in a good condition.
