Most Helpful Review

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.

Limited mini cooper

Pros- it is powerful car , dashing look , available in rich color, powerful engine cons- limited seats and less mileage, slightly above the estimated price , maintainance cost slightly high.
