    Value for Money

    DRIVING:
    An Excellant Car with a Value for Money. Clutch is too smooth and the Brake is also very effective. The car being heavy, never vibrates at higher speed (>50 Km). AC is very powerful and pickup is very good. You cannot realize when u have reached 80 Km when on highways.

    I have taken delivery of this car on March 2008 and so far run 2621 Km. I booked the car with RD Motors, VIP Road, Kolkata in December 2007, but had to wait for 3 months for the sanction of loan. They have also given Rs.30,000/- discount.
    I have also taken 30 months extended-warranty.
    I have taken the car to workshop so far 4 times and every time for the "Check Engine" light problem. The people at the workshop got it corrected. Their welcoming, behaviour and dealings have so far been quite good.
    I have also done my 1st service and under-chasis anti-rust coating with Uwrth. I am using HP "Power" petrol since purchase.
    A very very smoothly Drivable Car excepting the following constraints:

    1) Mileage -- I am getting not more than 9.5 per ltr. even without AC. Ofcourse I have not checked making full-tank. I used to fill 10 ltr. at a time and then again fill up when the needle touches the red mark on the fuel gauge. This gives me around 95-97 Km.
    2) I have obtained 12.22 km/ltr with full tank and AC at 50% time. Considering 37 Ltr. fuel tank capacity, the 1/2 mark should be 18.5 ltr; which has given me 226 Km that works out to be around 12 Km.
    3) Check Engine light quite often glows on and then goes off automatically after 1-2 days.
    4) A heavy car, a bit difficult for the ladies and the aged without power steering.

    I shall definitely recommend this car to firsttime buyers, ofcourse not to  extremely  fuel economy  and cost  conscious  people.

    Total  on-Road Price: Rs.3,28,000/=
    a) Car Price               = Rs.2,86,000
    b) Ext. Warranty        = Rs.     4,000
    c) Road Tax & Regn. = Rs.  26,500
    d) Insurance               = Rs.  11,500


    Excellant drivability, Noiseless Engine, Vibrationless at High Speed, Clutch very smooth, PickupFuel Economy, Quality of Plastic materials used in interiors, Gear shifting is hard.
