I purchased AStar AT in Bangalore 3 months back and have driven around 3000 KM so far within city. The pick up and ride quality is very good, engine is very smooth and turning radius in the cramped roads here is excellent. This comes loaded with ABS, MP3 player, power windows and a flashy front panel. The negatives are - rear leg space and trunk space. But if the front seat occupants are not very tall, space in the rear is not too bad. I am disappointed with the mileage so far though. It is giving only around 9.5 - 10 Km/l in normal driving conditions. Nowhere near the certified 17Km/l ARAI. Does anyone else have similar data with Automatic version? With a sub 1000cc engine I was expecting a very decent mileage of around 12-13 at least with automatic. I am hoping that with additional driving and servicing this increases slowly.
