    Exterior Looks decent from all sides but not sportive and moreover it is not a sports car. Rear side should have been better designed. If your beast comes with  an 14'' rims than immeaditely you have to shift to 15'' it will make a hell lot of difference with GC.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is very spacious both front and rear. You can feel leg room in the rear even after the last postion(maximum stretch) of front seats. The rear bench can accomodate 3 persons(80Kg each) easily. The main important thing is the arm rest at the front and the rear which is more relaxing on high ways. And there is a decent boot which is sufficient for day to day practical life.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance. I do not have words to explain this word  Except the high end cars like BMW,AUDI,etc, no one can touch the smoke of this beast. Just press the gas pedal and you will be take off. That is the main thing I like the most in my car. Fuel economy is mind blowing. I use to get around 19KMPL on sedate driving(light foot) with AC on on high ways. And 16KMPL on mad driving. Over all it never let down below 15 KMPL my figures are especially on highways where I use to race. On city you can expect 12KMPL in any worst scenario. But with the power this beast delivers I can compromise on my FE sometimes. Gearbox is not much smooth it will be a bit hard in my view.

    Ride Quality & Handling It have a wonderful ride quality you will rarely feel the bump on any roads thanks for all independent suspension. The stability of this beast is very stable on high speeds. Any car can touch 150-160 KMPH but the stability of the car matters along with the control. You can easily control this car at 160 KMPH and you will not feel any vibrations or rattling noice at that speed. Thanks for all wheels disc and ABS.

    Final Words I love this beast very much i bought it as a used vehicle and spent around couple of lacs to make it a showroom conditioned vehicle. I have replaced almost all mechanical parts including full body paint as well😎 It never let me down until now except with one beautiful monster Volkswagon Passat.....which blowed this beast away on high way....😲 It is more fun to drive this car and believe me once you drive this baby you will not feel the punch in any other sedans in this segment.

    Areas of improvement NA.

    Good Fuel economy,great space,comfort,arm rests at front & Rear,Remote boot lid open6CD changer which is of no use,Costly spares
