4.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 5.0 Performance |
2.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior This is the only car that exudes class in the current price band in its league, and very honestly, besides the lenght aspect, beats a lot of other cars that are may be more expensive. The car is designed to take a beating, and yet continue going, i met with an accident at almost 100kms/hr, the car axle broke and was on the floor, but i came out scratchless. i know i can trust the vehicle.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Wooden finish panels, that ACTUALLY resemble wood, rather than the pseudo ones in other cars and even the interior resemble the OLD merc feel, which is very attractive and soothing. seating i brilliant, the drive is beautiful, ergonomics are simply amazing.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its a car to die for...she holds the road, and even at 150, if u push the accelerator, chances are, you will be pushed back into ur seat, thats what a true performer should be like...fuel economy is bad, but then again, with the class/performance/stability and weight, u cant expect much out of it. if the average is of major concern to you, think again, this car is much more than that.
Ride Quality & Handling The steerings a little heavy, but thats good because at high speeds the car cruises effortlessly. It sticks to the ground and handles and brakes really well too.low seating, yet a good ground clearance, and very good suspension, make for superior experience in the car.
Final Words I have an optra, and am now planning on buying a cruze/optra magnum diesel, even though iam not sure of the resale value, only because, if theres a car in the market, that isnt the most expensive, yet gives u d performance of a beast and class of a luxury car with all the comforts, theres no reason u should go for a japanese car.
Areas of improvement After sales, so that the resale of the car goes up and it receives it dues.
Everything other than fuel economy(petrol)Fuel Economy, resale
