    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) If you are looking for creature comforts, this car is great. Lovely automation. It even tells you what gear to change to... just incase you don"t know that.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Once you start driving you will realise how poor this engine performs. When trying to overtake there is no reserve power and you have to fall back. Climbing slopes with a full load has to be done with a prayer on your lips, that you won't stall. 

    The showroom will tell you that the car gives 19 kmpl. However the car gives a mere 11.5 kmpl at fuel conscious driving.

    Ride Quality & Handling Negotiating a speed breaker is a back breaking experience as the car jumps, and not rolls down the negative side, even at a crawling speed.

    Final Words I bought this car to replace a swift for long distance highway driving, but since the fuel consumption is high and engine power less, it was a BIG MISTAKE buying this. I am back to doing the long distance runs in the diesel Swift which gives me 18.5 lmpl and has tremendous power for overtaing and negotiating inclines.

    Areas of improvement Be honest when your're selling the car. Don't lie to customers about the mileage.

     

    The interiors & exteriors are greatThe engine is below par.
