    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Car looks very appealing from the front. Esp if you spend a couple of thousands on things like roof rails, it adds a lot to the appeal factor.

    The rear is not great but not bad either. The side lines are also pretty simple. Overall, it is a simple looking car which is not disturbing to the eye.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Leg space is amazing in the front as well as for rear seat passengers. The boot space is very large for even a sedan. Dash board is minimalist but enough stowage space for everything practically. Location of power window stiches in the center in front is useful for the front passenger.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Diesel engine is smooth and does not have a lag (like Swift). Fuel consumption in city driving is about 1 ltr for 22 kms. Clutch is very good, it gives a vibratory feel to your leg if clutch is unnecessarily kept pressed. Reverse gear will take a bit to get used to but is smooth.

    Ride Quality & Handling Streeing is very smooth in low gears. Car touches 80-90 kmph without any effort [havent tested it beyond that, as it's a new car :)]. The gears are smooth to work at and the suspension is very efficient for Indian roads.

    Final Words All in all a very good car. Lacks the good looks of Swift / Polo from the exterior. But interior space, ride quality and mileage more than makes up for that dissatisfaction.

    Areas of improvement Steering should get heavier at higher speeds. Rear seat support could be made a bit softer / more cushioned. Dead pedal near clutch would have helped a bit.
