Watch out Dzire

Sunday was the first day when Manza was available for a test drive in Gurgaon and I happened to be one of the first to drive one. The car is very comfortable, the driving position is good, the electronic controls for AC, music system and other stuff take a bit of getting used to and is very elaborate. Rear passenger gets ample space to stretch his legs and the DIS seems like a good feature to begin with couldnt quite get through me. Once put in gear, Manza has great control and the road grip was good as well. Uneven roads couldnt even grab my attention as even the sound wasnt something you would pay attention to. The gear shifts are smooth as well and the steering and gear position are very intuitive. Only drawback of this car was the car wasnt tuned to respond as soon as u hit the gas.. it has to go beyond 2 on the RPM meter to actually feel the pickup. Perhaps tuned for good mileage.. overall should be a good competition for Dzire given the Maruti car also lacks a bit on interiors and small tyresVFM, Rear passenger comfortAverage Interiors, Front looks Indica Vista like
