Sturdy and reliable car best suited for indian roads.

 

Its design reduces drag, u can see this type of desing in skoda fabia and volkswagen polo. where as palio was launched in 2001. Its AC is also very effective due to its 1242 cc engine. there is two movements in door , which is in very few cars. u cannot lock the driver door car without key.

 

Engine Performance is exellent , Fuel Economy is also not bad for 1242 cc ingine. mine is with LPG kit. after purchase i drive it from ahmedabad to rajkot. effortlessly i drive at 100 km , and on lpg its performance was like petrol.

 

Ride Quality is very good. i find its steering little hard ( mine is without power steering) I drive many cars without power steering but i find it little hard.

 

Final Words Exellent car, ahead of its time, value for money.

This car is not for them who get easily frustated. As its spares  are not easily avialable and most of mechenics refuse to repair it  as due to its sturdy design it require more effort than a maruti. u have to find a good mechanic for it and shop who keeps its spares.

 

Areas of improvement Turning radius, service and spares.

 

it was quite advance car when launched in india, so could not get good response. everything is exeldue to high turning radius difficult to park and manuvoure in our narrow indian streets
