    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

    Loos wise very good at this segment and for this price.  Nice front and back loos. Quite big approx as big as i10.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Pros :

    First  thing I noticed in the car is Nice Space inside.. Lots of leg room..

    Lots of Boot Space

    GearBox and HandBrakes is slightly near the steering .. I found it awkward initially , but later adjusted to it.. and rather found it comfortable..

    Also the above thng gives space to joint front two seats which gives some xtra space in the front which I really liked.

    Cons:

    Now dissapointed with the interior Plastic Quality

    Seat Quality is not good @back side so not much thigh support.

    No glove box.

    Dont have airbag , ABS even as an option.. thts one thing I didnt like.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    >> I was  told this uses the same detuned Nissan micra engine. However even though its 1.2L engine, it's detuned so you wont find the Power Punch that 1.2L engines give. But yeah its perfect for City as well as Highway drives @safe limits. No complaints there.

    >> I have driven around 2500Kms in 3months.. It gives me 15 in City and 17 on Highways. Though the Showroom guys insist it should give 2Km more.. Hope it will do well after servicing.

    >> GearBox is unconventional , you will need a few KMs driving to get accustomed to it...But is conventient. However I find the gear box sometimes notchy.. But no problems so far..

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Ride in Datsun is quite stable even @high speeds. @80KM you wont find it revving up.. @higher speeds it tends to become a bit unstable which is above 90-95..

    In indian roads it drives well, thanks to the ground clearance .. it saved me multiple times of bad roads :-)

    Now coming to suspension.. I wish the suspension was slightly better, but its not that bad either.

    Its lights. The one comes with the Company is absolute crap. Its power is quite low for Highway drives but some how if you are not high speed driver , then u can manage :-)

    Final Words

     Finally Its a good buy at this price. It comes with some limitations which at this price and for this segment not a turn off.  The major +ve points are Good Macho Looks , Interior Space , 1.2L engine, Good Drive Quality @This price..

     

    Things Could have been better :

    >> Assessories are abosule waste.. If you go for Micra or Punto it comes with loaded features.. Nothing is there.. Some are available as options some are not.. e.g. The music dock is waste..

    >> Wheel is 13" which is quite little to support a hole in the road.

    >> Interior Quality - Not happy. Not even a glove box present ..

    >> Seat quality not very good.

    >> No Diesel Variant Present.. ( Hope this will come in future )

     

     

    Good Look, Cost , Interior Space , Fuel Economy , Ground Clearance , Driving made easy in city:)Interior plastic quality, accessories are not of good range.
