<p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;Excellent.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;Good.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;Good Engine, lower fuel economy will be offset by the performance.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;Excellent.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;Having bought this car when first launched in May 2010 and having driven for&nbsp;nearly 5 years, I am forced to sell of this car as the service provider took me for a ride by&nbsp;recommending change of spares (when they were not required to be replaced).</p> <p>When I lodged a complaint with the company on their toll free no., to my surpise,&nbsp;they forwarded the complaint to the same service station against whom I had complained! <br/>No company representative got actively involved&nbsp;inspite of repeated requests by call and mails.</p> <p>Go for this car only if you are ready to shell out a good amount for replacement of&nbsp;spares in the name of "wear &amp; tear items" each time you go for service.</p> <p>In my case the spare replacement was not&nbsp;needed as I proved by driving a cool&nbsp;9,000 km&nbsp;by not replacing spares which were recommended by the service&nbsp;advisor.</p> <p>It only proves the&nbsp;hunger of the service station to ensure higher billing - taking customers for a ride!!</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;NA.</p>By far this is the most rugged car in this range; excellent driving experienceDealders take us for a ride while company looks on
