    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Exterior is neat, with bold lines and a decent paint job. Clean tidy look.  Tends to look like a box at times but a box you like to look at!

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are average in terms of no buttons on the steering, side view mirrors are manual, no defogger and no rear wiper. Afetr rains the rear view mirror becomes absolutely useless. Even my Santra had this thing. The good points are the fit and finish is perfect. The cabin is BIG for a small car! Espically for sardars there is enough turban space even in the rear. The music system is good but has no remote. The diggy space is decent.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is noisy and a bit jerky at the lower gears but otherwise it is amazing. You can actually FEEL your car unlike the Honda City!!!  The fuel economy is not be best in city driving (10-12) but on the highway it is easy to reach 15-16 Km/l.

    The gearbox is a dream. The brakes are very good, so good that I have been hit thrice from behind as I could stop rapidly compared to others.

    Ride Quality & Handling Amazing ride esp. on the highway. You feel safe. Heavy doors and the car feels STUCK to the ground. Clearence is average.

    Final Words A good car, probably the best of the lot.

    Areas of improvement The biggest problem is probably the after sales. The service center I use is Fareinet, Motinagar, Delhi and the esperience was bad. There is a snobbish air amonst the people working there. Bills of 30,000-50,0000 are considered average and okay by the staff. No help, no smile and basically nobody wishes to work!!!! Very sad!!!! My 1st service and denting and painting of 1 door with repeat wood work (it cracked within 15 days) on the steering took 8 days!!!

    Looks, pick up, plastics, gear box, storage spaceIn cabin noise, very expensive after sales, poor workshop experience
