Very good family car

The car is big, has an ugly grey interior but rides like a dream.The 1.2 engine is nice but not very friendly to racing away. The 1st gear is worthless above 5kmph &amp; 2nd gear is worthless standing still. So in the stop-start traffic, the gears need a lot of work unless you want to listen to the engine wail in 1st gear while crawling. <br>However, it does have enough grunt to take the highways in 80-100kmph, beyond which the tyre noise is irritating. At 80-90 kmph, the engine doesn't make any sound.<br>The ride continues to be the best part of the car. The a/c is good but drains a lot of power, esp in lower gears. The blower is silent for the 1st two speeds &amp; noisy after that. But I guess thats pretty standard and the 2nd speed is good enough.<br><br>All my friends/family/relatives who have sat in the car have loved the space inside. Its as big as any of the sedans out there from the inside &amp; even with the driver seat pushed back completely, the rear leg-room is just about adequate.<br><br>The mileage in the initial period was a poor 8-8.5 kmpl with 50% a/c usage. Quite below my expectations. But it was also used only in mumbai's peak traffic or for short 2-km runs. So I'll give the new engine the benefit of the doubt.<br><br>Once they did the 1000km checkup &amp; removed some sort of "speed-limit" i've taken it on the highway &amp; done a few hundred kilometers. I've got around 12.5 kmpl with 70% ac usage with half in the city &amp; half on the pune expressway. So I guess its not such a heavy drinker when given the freedom to rev.<br><br><b>Verdict</b><br>I'll give the u-va 8/10 for my requirements. Its spacious, comfortable &amp; reasonably economical. I'm not a rally driver &amp; like to drive smoothly without an adrenaline rush. The car keeps me calm.<br>very spacious & comfortable, good looks1st gear selection, grey interiors
