Look and Style: IMO this is the second best looking hatchback after punto out there. Gets 10/10 in Look and Style.
Comfort: Very comfortable front 2 seats..as good as the big sedans..Rear is not comfortable but manageble(Every car has its ups n downs, Beat as more ups then down :))
Pickup: Awesome pickup when AC is off(Second best to Swift i guess)..When AC is ON the 2nd gear pick up is a bit low(better than figo)..Other wise you will enjoy driving this ride - fun drive.
Mileage: I did a tank full to tank full auto cutoff at the same petrol bunk - Shell Super and got an very impressibve 14.10 KM/LT with 30% AC usuage and 60% City and 40% Highway
Best Features: Love the auto AC and the power when AC is off...It is the VFM 1.2Ltr engine and if you often drive ur car without any passengers then I would any day recommend this over the highly overpriced Swift or Punto or Polo or i20...y pay over 1 lakh more for a tiny difference in space, instead spend 2lakh more for a sedan n get more cc and more space(No offense to anyone its just my personal openion)...Everyone out there is complaining abt the stock speaker but i found them very good infact very cool..Try using USB with songs of 320 KBPS and with bass - '-2' and Treble at '+4'...
Needs to improve:Pickup with AC on second gear..Other gear powers are very good...Well this is true for any car..So is not a deal breaker
Overall Experience: I planned to buy a car in March itself and started research..Finally after all research finalized on 4 cars Figo deisel LDI(Petrol was underpowered so opted for deisel - rejected coz of poor sales response n behavior - I was too smart for them ti realise that the price difference between the lower end n top end was not justified in any way) , Beat LT(fell in love at first site and at first TD but thought to TD other cars before finalising), Tata Manza ABS (Loved the space inside & amazing handling- rejected coz the dealer(prerana Motors - rajajinagar) was trying to cheat me by selling a 1.5 yrs old vehicle at today's price) and Ertiga VXI ABS(since it was a new launch n budget was not a problem - rejected due to long waiting period)...Still now not faced any issues and very happy with my first ride..It really takes a long time & hard research to get hands on the ride which u r meant to own and destined for all ur hard earned money.
Auto AC, fun drive, front seats, 1.2 lt engine at VFM priceRear seat but manageble
