Good car for middle-class people.

I haven't purchased this car but I want to purchase it. Did a short drive once, a while ago, and felt comfortable in driving the car. Besides it's sporty look are an eyecatch. Talking of the performance of the car I quite liked it but can't tell more about it since I have driven it only once few months ago.

8k km experience review

If it's your first car , you will love it. It's my third car, and almost driven 8k km. first two were from Suzuki family. There is engine noise compared to Suzuki cars. 1 and 2 gear lag issue. Car doesn't climbs if fully loaded (5 pax and some bags in your boot space). Body built is better then Suzuki cars, feels confident on highways. On highway it is good but for city drives ( considering tragic) it's not up to the mark compared to Suzuki cars.
