    Exterior When I first looked at the Car, I just fell in love with it. The exteriors are aesthetically designed. The curves, the shape, the size, it all looks perfect!

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors likewise gives you a very rich feeling and you it certainly gives you a feel of a luxury sedan when you just get in. The chrome finish at just the right places is very appealing to the eyes! You would never get bored of getting into this car. This car has much more space then all other hatchbacks in the market. Excellent legroom and eaasily fits 5 people without any discomfort. The interior Blue LED lightining is brilliant. I don't see any other car having such an amazing feel when those LED lights are on. Even the power windows button are lighted! Such is the details with which this car has been designed. Seats are extremely comfortable! You would love to go for a long drive with your girfriend/ wife in this baby! :)

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is decent not necessarily the best. This car would be a maniac if it has a 1400 CC engine. This would be just an replacement of any sedan in the market then! The music system is amazing as well. The sound quality with effects from its tweeters are just fantastic. I have heard and seen the music system in other cars, this according to me is best of the lot. Love the blutooth feature, as I can easily connect my OneX to it and play songs with Beats audio chip on my phone for those extra effects! 

    A real negative of this car is clearly the mileage! I have traveled often to office in the peak hours from Malad to BKC where you always drive bumber to bumper, and the mileage is absmally low at 7 to 8 KMPL. I have also driven this beauty at the National Highway with consistent speeds of 80 to 90 and the mileage was approximately 15KMPL. In both the instances the AC was pretty much 100% on. May be 95%.

    Ride Quality & Handling I hit a speed of 150 KMPH on this with relative ease and the car showed amazing stability. However, note that the steering is very senstive at high speeds! So drie with both your hands on the steering at those speeds! :) For the city the steering is so light that you can iterally turn with just one finger and then just leave the sterring and it quickly comes back to straight position! I have had friends sit in this car, and they have invariably asked after getting into the car sayng "Dude, this looks like a fancy car, which one is it" :)

    Final Words A very very satisfied customer for the stuff it offers to me! No regrets whatsoever in buying this! A proud owner of this beauty! (Muah!<3) White color looks great! Couple of others are really good too!

    Areas of improvement Mileage and engine power should improve. But it compensates more in the form of other stuff that has been written than the negatives. If fuel economy is your critical criteria, don't buy this car! If you need more information on my experince, feel free to write to me on ansultantia@gmail.com. Car is driven for approximately 3500 Kms.

    Excellent Interiors and styling, Features packed. Best in class luxury hatchback, excellent handlingFuel Economy, slightly under powered engine
