Most Helpful Review

Driving is amazing

Had to buy it from Faridabad because Bird Automotive was getting renovated in Gurgaon. Driving is amazing, there is a lot of acceleration, and the top speed is good. Looks amazing, and we have skyscraper grey. Servicing is good and takes a couple of hours. Much better car than the Mercedes C-Class or the Audi A4.

A performance car with less mileage

Good performance very fast car. I bought it for performance because I love driving cars and I am a driving enthusiast and the mileage of it is less (approx 10) but It is a very good car with a premium interior.
