a car for the common man

Exterior classy, a big car feeling with its tall boy design, chrome  adds to the glamour, adaptable to all sorts of traffic

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) remarkable; easy to get in and out- advantage for elders, pregnant ladies; gives a luxury class feel with the new black-beige combination; one has to put seat covers preferably art-leather to ensure comfort; front power windows are sufficient, rear is luxury; floor mats, steering wheel covers will be useful; 2nd row fits only 3 avg sized adults; comfortable like an suv in long journeys; don't feel tired; needs more storage space inside; 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 very good except for pick up with AC on and 5 passengers, smooth gear shifts, mileage matches company's numbers; this is not a sporty car, but suited for a comfortable rides in the usual 45-60km/hr speeds; mileage improves considerably after 15000 kms. have driven so far 20500 kms including city, small town villages and highway roads

Ride Quality & Handling

 easily maneuverable in cities, rough roads in villages, and a pleasure in highways

Final Words A value for money complete family car, not for sporty action

 

Areas of improvement  suspension, when you think about our roads, boot space;  if you are planning a car suitable for all your family members, requiring ride in both cities and village roads, mainatenance cost - this is a reliable mate, best car for the common man
