Obtain such an additional charge automatic air conditioning, keyless system for cooperating with central locking and electronic gadgets, such as triggering automatic rain sensor wipers. However, if the price rises to the level of the Fiat 500 with comparable facilities (in Germany from 14 900 euros, or about 56 thousand. Zł).

Low priority palm Toyota also holds in terms of affecting the safety equipment.
ESP can be found on board and up to 9 airbags (including even the airbags to protect passengers' heads second row).
