I would definitely go with 95. AFAIK it was designed and manufactured based on Europe's 98 ron, so 95 would be your best bet.

Edit: Solo beat me to it. :oops: At least two of the same comments give you more belief. :wink:

Easiest way to check Jama, open the fuel flap, it'll indicate the minimum RON needed.

But as a rule of thumb, always use the highest octane available.
