    Few hundred kilometers

    Just drove the car today morning.

    A friend of mine brought it despite of researching a lot about te car...he blindly followed wat he looked at the first sight..DATS THE LOOKS OF THE SUV :(

    First thot of giving a technical..feedback..but m giving  a lay mans feedback. One that majority will notice on the first drive..!!!

    Wont comment on the looks as M& M have worked their ass on it.

    Awesome looking car with tremendous features and gadgets and all.

    BUT>>>>> WAT DO WE DO WITH A  CAR...We DRIVE IT.......!!! M&M FORGOT IT...

    Bad steering wheel and noisey cabin.

    Worst suspension ...a little speed breaker will make u air borne.....and ull do yoga in the car.

    Mcpherson suspension do a shit job.

    In the top gear .......the TURBO lag is there......car takes tyme to react to the throttle say a second or 2.

    Cant imagine .......2.2 Litre Mhawk VGT engine engine is the same as in the Scorpio and i think it proved its worth more there rader in this car.

    Drove the car for an hour doin cuts and cornners and also a lot of straight lanaes. MILEAGE - 11kmpl ( Lil Depressed)

    17 inch tyres looked like a joke ....could have had 19inch for a change. Performance would have been better. Nor do they go well with the body.

    As far as gadgets are compared and the dashboard is concerned ...would make you feel like you are in a COCKPIT of a JET the feel is awesome...... BUt In ABSENCE of performance its was not worth the mullah spent. 

    Quality of plastic polymer used is poor.......seems grade 2 or 3......for a car of this level ....it should have been more refined.......and finished.

    Now for a music lover like me...the incompany...audio and the speakers ..aint no good...cant M&M coolaborate with JBL .JVC..or BOSE ...when its called  a SUV and u gonna do thousand of kilometeres in it...why overlook the entertainment...segment....... .THe speakers purr like a CAT......and the systems reboot n number of times......SHIT TO THAT> >>

    Cooling ///...gets a 5 star.

    overall..........for an ordinary indian the two things dat matter the most are the looks and the performance.(  majority  give shit to gadgets and unecessary ....alarms and ....metres)

    For LOOKS - 7/10

    For Performance - 5/10

    For Suspension - 4/10

    For Steering and CABIN NOISE - 5/10

    Styling , Comfort , LookPoor Engine....Bad Steering and Suspension , Poor Mileage
