    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior

    Even though this car cannot be considered as 'Good Looking', at the same time we cannot consider as 'Bad' also. So, overall, i am satisfied with the exteriors.

    The things that i am missing so far:

    1. Rear Wiper (my earlier WagonR had!!!)

    2. Rear Defogger

    3. Fog Lamps

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Interior plastic quality could have been improved.

    Tachometer is badly missing :(

    But on the positive sides:

    1. I really like the spacious leg room for rear passengers

    2. Decent boot space (compared to new swift)

    3. ABS

    4. Pretty good suspension

    5. Fun to drive both in city and on highway, easily maneuverable.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    My car is just 4 days old and i have driven around 150kms so far, all within the city limits. But I am very much satisfied with the performance so far. Will be going for a long drive on this weekend. So, i should be able to give my feedback on 'highway drive' and may be, also on FE.

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Over the weekend, i went for a long drive (to tirupati). I am extremely happy with the overall drive experience. As i had not crossed the required KMS on the odometer, i was driving slowly and made sure that i never crosses 90kmph. The car is pretty easy and confortable to handle. Ergonomics has been pretty good and overall, i never felt tired even after the drive.

    Final Words

    I am 100% happy with my choice and would definately like to recommend this car to any of my friends. Please do not go with the 'common' reviews that you find every where on net and jump into 'swift'. Test drive the vehicle, and if you are not that much bothered about 'interiers' and can live without tachometer, then i would strongly recommend this car.

    Areas of improvement  

     Tachometer, Fog lamps and Defogger.

     Note: I was unable to create an account in www.team-bhp.com. Hence, can anyone please post my review comments over there.
