    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

    Exteriors are standard but look is more like sedan compared to other hatchbacks but ok.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Interiors are standard but well designed especially the space is worth and much better than compared to other hatchbacks in the segments

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Fuel Economy is very important part and now a days alsmost every hatchback is coming with very much similar fuel economy in diesel segment, just a kilometer here and there, depending on driving conditions and driving skills, I get around 15 to 16 kmpl in local and on highways it's around 18 to 20 as long as you drive in decent speed between 80 to 100 max.

    Engine is turbo charged pickup is great, and can beat almost any other hatchback in the segment, thanks to carefully crafted aero dynamic shape. I had driven Swift, i20, Polo, Punto etc. however no car could reach to 160 km/hour speed all other cars start shaking or loosing grip on the road, but Sail-UVA is wonderful when it comes to speeding!! of course you can't expect fuel economy when speeding. I could travel only in Inova from Surat to Vasai with non-stop driving of 2.5 hours and only with Sail-UVA, I could achieve the same distance in 2.5 hours, WOW!! Thats like small car, with high performance, good fuel economy, great speeding capacity and none the less absolutely fantabulous gear box!

    Ride Quality & Handling

    It is good though I felt like i20 and Swift has better shock absorbvers when driving in local, but when riding in high speed it doesn't sence at all, only on bumpy rides you can understand the difference but it's not that great than one can quickly feel it.

    Steering wheel is great and works very much as per the expectation. 

    Final Words

    Worth buying vehicle as long as you want following items in just one vehicle:
    1. Small in size
    2. Bigger space inside compared to any other medium segment hatchback
    3. Good Fuel Economy
    4. Great safety features (base model also comes with airbags)
    5. Very good turbo charged diesel engine
    6. If you are fond of speeding or generally like to drive between 100 to 120, though you can take up to 150 without any troubles, provide you can control the vehicle

    Areas of improvement  

    The only thing I thought could be better if clutch could be more smoother though it is good enough and shock abs could be improved too!
