    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Exteriors are nice, give a feeling of a big expensive sedan.  Happy with the car atleast for those who havent driven it

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space but looks like that they have curtailed the bottom of the seat. I am used to keeping my mobile phones in front of me on the seat between the legs while driving and with this car they always keep falling. Infact its atleast 2 inches smaller compared to a dzire VXI or a Skoda Laura.

    The car is too light and becomes bumpy on all pot holes, the shockers are also not too smooth (comparing with dzire best shockers even better than the laura).  Plus since its an overgrown car without much internal fittings it makes a lot of noise like hitting a large metal box which is all hollow.

    The brakes - everytime i put a brake on speed above 50, everything on the rear side (including passengers) comes down.  The car feels to be too unstable while driving especially when braking and turning.  

    The turning radius of the car is too large and you have to atleast take 2 turns. 

    Gear - the first gear usually has a problem.  Also i think its gear ratio has been lowered to be driven at higher gears at a lower speed.  I usually do not come below 2nd gear even on almost '0' speeds and at a 80 kmph at 5th gear the rpm goes beyond 3.  So its more of a city drive (easy to drive in traffic) but not a highway car as beyond 80 it starts giving out a lot of noise.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good. 14-15 kmpl  in petrol is good.  Its low on maintenance.

    Ride Quality & Handling Bad ride quality - see above

    Final Words Not worth the money. I would rather spend a bit more and buy a Hyundai Verna / skoda rapid (rapid is again low on quality of plastics like sunny). so best car in this segment remains verna or a honda city or Sx4.

    Areas of improvement NA.

    Good space, kids can easily play at the rear its like a small moving room. So space (not comfort)Bad breaks, too light a car so always a rough drive
