Hello all,
I have bought the A star Vxi in August 2009. This is a very compact premium hatchback.
What is special in A star ?
The car is more to be felt than seen. In this range compared to competetion you will best love this car in driving. Its got great handling, pickup, high speed stability (its wide and short in height) , great grip and brakes (tubeless tyres). The steering feedback is correct, its well weighted, you can twist and turn the car in traffic as you like, its fun driving it. Its made in brand new platform and chassis, body roll is less, suspension is really good.
I bought the car because i loved driving it . In four lakhs on road i got a/c, speed sensitive electric power steering, four power windows, central locking , factory music system with two speakers and definetly a brand new engine. So the basic list of features is over that makes the car basically complete .
Now the big question average ??? In 99% a/c i get 15 kms appx in city heavy traffic. In other way 500km appx form tank full to tank full. .This is good .
Let me address the evergreen question "space" talked always about A star. This car can ferry 5 adults in comfort. Space as a problem is more with our eyes than actually it is with the rear bench. Because the car is not tall .
If you compare it dimemsion wise with competetion you will understand for your self.Neither your hands fowl with other person while on driver seat. Boot is adequate for two big travel bags and you can top it up with two - three more smaller ones but there should not be the rear parcel tray. Twice i fetched my in laws and parents from station . Its nothing great nor so less too;you can manage.
One example - On dhanteras day we went out me and my wife with child in front. My parents, my in law parents and my younger brother all packed in rear seat. The car neither had any probs either on handling, suspension, brakes . It went off the underground mall parking full load. Great engine and no hicks at all.
Buy the vxi . For city use for small outings for me, my wife and child of a year its more than sufficient.
Final impression - This car not a hollow tall frame with flimsy build developed decade before . Its modern, its technically now in every aspect. Its value for money and every drive is likable and lovable.
My extras- I have just put a pair of JBL speakers in rear doors. CD player is outstanding and my cool cabin with great music is fantastic while is car is agile and smart on roads.
