Full Review

THIS CAR HAS EXCELLENT DRIVING CHARCTERISTICS AT ANY SPEED RANGING FROM ZERO TO 176 KM(I HAVENT DRIVEN  BEYOND THIS BUT THE CAR IS STILL EAGER TO GO FURTHER).

EACH ONE OF THE SYSTEMS LIKE GEAR BOX ,POWER STEERING,BRAKES,SUSPENSION WORKS FABULOUSLY.

THE CAR IS STURDY AND TROUBLE FREE.IT COMES WITH 14 INCH RADIALS AND SUMPTUOUS GROUND CLEARANCE OF 178 MM WHICH ALLOWS IT TO BE TAKEN ANYWHERE.

INTERIOR QUALITY IS MATCHED ONLY BY HONDA CITY AND ITS SEATS ARE EVEN BETTER THAN CITY.

THE ENGINE IS SO GOOD IT HAS SUBSTANTIAL RESERVE POWER EVEN AFTER SWITCHING AC ON.I EASILY DRIVE IT IN 5TH GEAR FROM 50 KMPH  ONWARDS.MINIMUM GEAR CHANGES REQUIRED WHILE DRIVING.

FANTASTIC CAPABILITY TO CLIMB SLOPES EFFORTLESSLY AND THIS WITH THE HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE MAKE IT  A GREAT ALL ROUNDER.

IT IS A TROUBLE FREE CAR REQUIRING SERVICE ONLY ONCE IN 6 MONTHS (OR 10000KM) AND SERVICING COST IS NOT MUCH.QUALITY OF ENTIRE CAR IS SO GOOD IT DOES NOT NEED ANY ATTENTION  OTHER THAN PERIODIC SERVICING.

Better opt for New Aveo Sedan 2009 , for mileage 1.4L engine and for driving pleasure 1.6L engine. VALUE FOR MONEY SEDAN=5.49 L exshowroom for LS variant Attractive and Bold shape Mileage in city 11/12, on highways around 14/15. Expanding dealer network, 178 cities and 203 outlets. Good value for money great discount.On road LS may be around 6L. Robust Comfort driving Maintenance assurance by company can opt for cashless maintenance upto 45,000 km. Warranty upto 3years/1,00,000 km. Go

Diesel cars are recommended when minimum daily running is 65km or monthly running of 2000 km. This is purely financial calculation as one has to pay minimum of 70,000 rupees more for buying a diesel car compared to petrol car of same variant e.g Ldi = 5.7L (Diesel car) and Lxi = 5L (Petrol car). The price of diesel fuel is less compared to petrol fuel hence one has to run minimum of 2000 km monthly to recover the extra price of 70,000 rupees paid during buying.
