A total of 1825kg.
But it also says "total weight of the car (empty)" = 1655kg (does this include the axles? do they weigh on themselves?)

This leaves 170kg to load.
Let's say 40kg of gas with a full tank, 100kg driver... If I take another adult into my car, it's overloaded?
Am I reading this wrong?
Based on your calculation, yes its kinda overloaded...

But based on the number of sits, its definitely not overloaded...

Somebody might find it ridiculous if I refuse my friends to ride my car and say " I'm sorry, I'm kinda overloaded right now", as your friends looks at the empty back sits..
