    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

     

    Exterior Great Looks, though its doesnt have typical Aero dynamic jazzy shape and fancy lights like Cruze, Civic, Corolla Altis or Verna fluidic (though it doesnt fall in the same segment).

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable leg room, seat adjusments are good, lot of storage pockets. seating space at rear is comparatively lower due to AC Vent, decent head room.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine the best-Smooth like a good single malt... Its a sheer pleasure, Gear Box the best i have driven so far. Fuel Economy is not great I dont expect a great fuel economy too. I was mentally prepared for a 7/8 kmpl in city and 11/12 kmpl in highway.

    Ride Quality & Handling Speed machine. HYD to BLR 6.5 hrs flat -  on a road without traffic u can comfortably touch 175/180. not safe though. just for heck of it i did touch those speeds for few seconds. but 140 kmph. I was crusing with absolute control.

    Braking- the best with ABS and ASR

    Reversing- poor visibility, i am not comfortable with the sensors

    Steering- Great handling, but little heavier than may earlier cars (Honda City & Fiesta)

    Handling clutch is different from my previous cars need to get used to it (I have just finished 2000Kms).

    Final Words You love speed, power, comfort and dont compare everyday fuel economy with diesel cars and other sedans. go for it.. its pleasure driving this machine.

    Areas of improvement If they cud do something to improve fuel economy without compromising any of the things, then it would be great, Better view for reversing, Auto raise and close of boot.. its heavy, Leather seats shud be given by default for a car like this.
