Good, but not good enought to beat a Honda

After test driving this vehicle last week, my considered opinion is that this is a good option of a car for someone looking to upgrade from a hatch-back to a sedan. It gave reasonably good driving comfort, smooth gear changes, good braking. It does have a lot of features like alloy wheels, air bags etc., coming in as standard fitment.

However, on the flip side, the car is a bit cramped in the rear seat. If you are planning to self drive it is okay, the car is not a best bet for chauffer driven use. The chauffer might enjoy, you won't. Since the rear of the vehicle is poised up a bit, shorter people, particularly ladies, might find getting in and out of the car at the rear seat, a bit difficult. They may find it like climbing into the car, rather than getting in. I saw that for myself at the dealer point.

Interiors are average, may be better than an esteem, but certainly has not reached the level of a C segment car.

Overall the car is good value for money, but I guess SX-4 is still inferior to Honda City or Hyundai Verna.
