    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Though its an individual choice, I just love my Ertiga the way it looks in Granite Grey Color, witrh well balanced  contours and profiles. I find too many curves and lines (as in Mobilio) to be Gaudy.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable for normal sized people. Third row seat has best underthigh suppport as compared to others in the  same category. I happened to see an ISUZU MU7 recently and atleat in 3rd row comfort, ERTIGA beats it 😊. Remove headrest of 3rd row and  fold it to have a large luggage space with a wide.... leg space still left for 2nd row.

    AC cooling with middle row blower is  good. (As an experiment, I switched on the AC with Heater on for 15 minutes, the car was getting very hot inside but on putting your hand against the 3rd row blower I could still feel cooler air coming out! So its not just a blower sucking air from front and pushing back, Its something more!).

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Gear shifting can be a little smoother but I do not have any complaints otherwise. Have driven with 7 adults and 2 kids in Delhi without any problem. Also toured 700 kms of Himachal hills (including narrow, winding, single lane hill roads) without any problem (can't drive continuously in 5th gear though in hills, as some people expect and I believe thasts an impractical expectation). FE is ok in city and is better if driving on long stretches.

    Ride Quality & Handling Smoooth. Drives like a small Car. Suspension is quite smooth and cabin sound is very well controlled (Roll up all the windows and heave a sigh of relief!).

    Final Words Totally values for money. Perfect for occasional 7 seat requirement. Feels more premium than its price (Zxi). Feels safe with ABS, EBD and Brake Assist. Ok for slight off roading (Negotiated well a 35 kms of hill climb on practically non-existing road from Nalagarh to Swarghat).

    Areas of improvement Chrome Grill. Smoother Gearbox.
