    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior look is Ok

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Interior space is OK for a small size car. But there are no pockets to hold my cell, navigation maps etc on dash board. Keeping such things on the door pockets are not safe. Provide more storage for driver and front passengerEngine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     Engine lacks power. Moving from stand still is a pain when 4 people are on board. Since Clutch travel is long,the driver have to sit close to the steering, keeping right leg bent to operate the accelerator . On long drives I am getting pain on my right knee since the leg is kept bent for long duration. Gear lever is notchy and the transmission ratios need a relook. Second gear seems very tall.

    Clutch vibrates while the vehicle is in first and second gear   

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Handling is good except the gears are notchy and thre are visibility issues when you are in a bumper to bumber traffic

    Driving on rough road is a pain , Even small holes on the road  are felt, the suspension bounces back throwing the passengers up to the roof.

    The GM engineers to fine tune the suspension . I had the same experience while travelling in a

    tavera.

    Head light : When driving on country roads, where street lamps are not provided, head lights beams do not help much to have a good view of the full road ahead . Very oftern I have misjudged the road width whie negotiating small curves 

     

     

    Final Words

     Expected a better product from GM

    After sales service is good. 

    Areas of improvement  

     Head light, Transmission, Visibility, Clutch, DAsh board, inside storage, worst suspension

     

    STYLING , SEATS , RESPONSIVE STEERINGView hampered by small window and high dash, Engine struggles to move the vehicle from standstill.
