Full Review

The car is a real fun to drive, excelent pick-up, good to drive in slow speeds as well. the engine is super smooth and totally silent. Even at high speeds the only noice you would hear is rubbing of tyres against the road. Excellent steering gives absolute confindence while driving in city as well as at high speeds. Space is ample for four. Only the fifth person in the rear centre seat will be little uncomfortable but other four will have the maximum space possible. Music system is just OK, nothing gr8 but good enough for listening while driving, not good for using it in picnincs etc. My distance with zxi has been 1600 kms and overall mileage was 12 KMPL (all in city with AC on for 50%).
The two minuses besides central rear seat are

The rear visibility while parking. this coupled with the fact that only one light glows while reversing makes parking that much more difficult.
Due to high GC, there is significant body roll when turnng at high speeds.

Hi Himanshu,my SX4 ZXI is doing extremely well even after 70000km.It is still as powerful and as economic as a new car.The tyres now need a change .Original JK Vecra have done very well on grip and life both.Do you recommend any other set likeridgestone or Micheline etc.

Thanks for prompt and valuable input

It is still giving me between 11 to 12 int he city. I have not taken in out on highways so can not comment ont hat. The SX4 does not come with tinted glasses. I would again say, there is no better car int his segment at the moment. Perfectly smooth driving, decent mileage, decent interiors (there is nothing I miss or do not like in there). all in all a great car to own.
