I bought this car in Oct 2008 after test driving Honda City, SX4, & Ford Fiesta. No regrets at all for making an unconventional choice. This car provides exceptional interiors, space & grace. The handling is very good, brakes could have been a little better. The ride weather in city or highway is very comfortable, while driving as well as in the rear seat. The boot space has been compromised a bit for more leg room at the rear, which I guess is a good idea. Fuel efficiency is 10 km/l (with AC) in city and 13 to 14 on the highway. The max speed is around 130. The engine could have been a little more peppy. The gear shift is good. Overall a very good car weather you wish to be in the drivers seat or your are chauffeur driven. It certainly scores more on City & Fiesta if you want to enjoy the rear seat.

    Hi Ahkesh,

    So far I've not faced any such problem. I gues this can happen to because of a technical glitch wrt the tuning of the car and can happen with any car for that matter.
