    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Good.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space and comfort. But the driver has no clue what is the engine temperature or any such indication as in other cars. Every indication on the dash board is blank except the Speedometer.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox All good.

    Ride Quality & Handling Easy drive. But the window frame blocks the driver's view during turns. Dangerous. The front mudguard touches ground on humps. Car feels very light as compared to solid European ones.

    Final Words I crashed one car due to heavy smoke from exsaust and failure of electronics like ABS. The company never replied to any of my mails or looked into the causes of accident. They are on the defensive. Due to old age I didn't go the consumer forum.  Lost Rs. 2 lakhs for the replacement car. Poor management response. However, the airbags saved lives.

    Areas of improvement Change the dashboard indicators; reduce the speedometer size which is only a show piece but not of much use, and make other features like Engine Temp visible for the driver.

    Increase the front mudguard height to avoid touching the humps.

    Fuel ecconomy. Easy to drive.Dashboard does not show anything till u get into trouble. Smoke emits frequently.
