    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Excellent, Mascular and appealing. Second look guaranteed! 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Pretty comfortable, spacious with ample leg space. The ORVM's control switch put just below the hand brakes, which are a big pain to operate when the hand brakes are down. A dead pedal would have been great.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox You got to drive it to believe it. Yes, it is raw power waiting to take off, the car is ready to take off, and moves effortlessly in all gears (including wrong gears).

    Ride Quality & Handling You got to drive it to believe it; the faster you go on the broken "Pot Holed" road, the smoother the drive. The  suspension is very well adjusted. The car drove like a small car including reversing and parking. I took the car on some of the real pot holed laden roads enroute to Tamhini Ghat (mulshi) on a strech of for 50 odd KM. High ground clearance and the huge tyres gives it a good ride quality. Overall, the handling was superb and the ride was quite good. Very light and easy to handle, with impossible turning radius. Very easy to handle and maneuver even in the city traffic conditions.

    Final Words Be different! Go for it!

    Areas of improvement  

    Will let you know after some more long drives:)
