Full Review

Well, the car is a delight to drive. The ride quality is decent though the car surely lacks in the performance sector. The AC sucks out the life out of the engine so there is very little to be expected for an enthusiast. However it is fairly adequate for city driving.
The gearbox is a real marvel and there is no rubbery feel. The shifts are precise and the throw is just right.
The interiors are just average but I prefer the dashboard design to Santro, WagonR, Estilo and the other counterparts of the segment. The rear bench lacks both in headroom and legroom and it is a tight fit for three individuals of medium built.
I would recommend the car for city driving only.
The style, though has begun to show its age but still it can proudly boast of some steadfast followers, including me.
Driving this car is certainly a very enriching, unforgettable experience. I still cherish driving this adorable princess.
