Exterior
The car exterior is good.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Good features, Adequate Space for four, Normal comfort.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Old engine, Performance of it is beyond par. I have hit the 140 km/hr on the highway but could not sustain it. with three people on board the car driven consistently in the speed range of (90-110 KM/Hr) it returned 19+ KMPL, which is not bad. The car in the city gives 15+ KMPL with AC. Gearbox, Clutch is good, so is the build quality. Many times the car was hit by two wheelers and four wheelers from the back. The bumper took the hit, the shape never changed (no dents).
Ride Quality & Handling
Suspension is very good. It lasted for a very long time. Changed the front shocks at 72000 kms. Perfect handling. Even in turnings the car is steady while turning with no body roll even at 50 Km/hr speed.
Final Words
This is a workhorse. It gets the job done. Impressed by the car. The car was bought in 2008 and it is BSIII model not BSIV.
Areas of improvement
In the next facelift, I expect the car to have a new smoother less noisy engine (1.2 Ltr and not 1.0 Ltr), slick gearbox, perfect clutch, Electronic power steering and not Hydraulic power steering. 14" wheels, perfect build quality, Higher ground clearance (>170mm). Spare parts to be more cheaper, Engine oil to be fully synthetic and not semi synthetic (15W-40). Plastic quality to be of premium quality.
All this at the best price for the average Indian family. That is when this car will become a hit and give Alto and Eon a run for their money.
My suggestion, buy this car you will not regret it. A very good car for a nuclear family.
This car never ceased to amaze meHydraulic Power steer, Old engine.

I bought this budget car in Oct 2008 and drove it all around Delhi NCR, also touched several hill spots of Uttranchal. One year back i get the CNG installed for my daily run of around 120 KMs and even after crossing 64000 KMs it is still a nice car to drive. Very low on maitenance just need few bucks here and there, and it returns to you its amazing drive.
The only problem, i faced is AC. I never enjoyed the AC too much in this car, and usually drive with windows down even in summers.
I feel of comfort for both front and rear passengers, pick up, cool horn sound and the fnicky tail light in night makes it a real separator in the entry level segment.
But keeping the AC aside, this is a real cool car with good looks and you can drive this forever on and on.
