Full Review

Drive it to know. Awesome power. Good to drive in city as well as in highway. It's capable to overtake any vehicle on the indian road.

Very good suspension. The interior quality looks very very rich esp. the Magnum LT. LS does not look so bad, but the leather quality of LT is significantly different.

The diesel engine is surprising quite.

At least the tail lamp of magnum could have been made different than the Original Optra at least to give an impression that "this is a different and better vehicle". :-)

Today, i booked the Magnum LT.

I would say, it's highly unfortunate. I have driven 20K, not having a single busted tyre experience.

The quality of tyres (Apollo Accelere, 195/60/15) is certainly a concern. I have had the vehicle only for about 2 months and only 2500 KMS on the ODO and already have a busted tyre. This was when driving was mostly in the city , incidents like this does not inculcate any confidence in the vehicle itself. I am not sure how to take up this matter, should I contact the Dealer, the company itself or should I just buy a new tyre..Please suggest ..?

For 11 Lac budget, i would bet for Magnum 2.0 LT.
