What i have to say about the Equus: It's a huge bargain compared to it's main competitors. Although the material quality and driving dynamics dont really come close to the competitors, it still offers huge amount of luxury features. The Navigation is pretty outdated for a car in this price range. The massage function is a nice touch to the luxury. All in all its a great bargain, but the quality is just not up to par with it's competitors. Like Camerons Car Reviews on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Camero...
