    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    I have just completed a year with my Brio V MT. What attracted me to it was its zippiness which is pretty much needed in city driving esp Delhi. I love its small turning radius as it comes very handy in conjusted scenarios and during parking.

    The steering is the lightest as compared to the other cars in the segment which is very helpful during long drives. I drove from Delhi to Chandigarh with only one stop I btwn. The car didnt make me feel tired even after 250 kms of almost continous driving.

    Also this car looks tiny from outside however it holds enough space inside. We 5 adults easily fit in the vehical and it has become our natural choice when going out.

    Coming to fuel efficiency, i though that mine wasnt giving a good average before I saw these comments. Mine gives around 14-15 in city. (w/o AC) and about 13-14 with AC.

    It did start with 10-11 initially however with time the FE will improve and also it will depend a lot on how you treat your vehical and drive it. FE is hugely dependent on the driver and the driving conditions.

    Your FE will be low id:

    1. You love to treat your car as a race car, riding on the accelarator as soon as you get a green signal. Speed is good however it will come at the same cost of petrol. Esp in cities maintain your speed, no need to climb on the accelarator just because you got a small patch to freedom.

    2. You clutch ride, ie you use clucth before you apply brakes. Clutch is supposed to be used for changing gears and not breaking. The best way to break is start doing it much before you normally do. Start slowing down by SLOWLY releasing the accelarator and then slowly apply breaks. press the clutch only when its almost stop to change gears.

    3. Too much breaking is bad. I have some people who love to test their cars breaks, apply them with jerks only when you are about to bang into the car in front of you.

    4. Regualrly check the air pressure in the tyres and get your car serviced on regular intervals.

    5. Use the right gear for the right speed.

    Enjoy your little bundle of joy :). The FE will improve with time.

    Compact yet spacious, comfortable to drive, styleboot space, less features as compared to other brands
