Exterior
look wise 5stars for chrome grill frame,datsun logo,stylish headlamps,muscular front face.Rear tail lamps looks good,rear broad bumper feels like swift.sheet metal of body very thin for cost cutting and reduce the weight by datsun and weightless doors make noise and requires more effort to close the door,door beedings or insulation material failed to make the car sound proof..door locks making iritating rough sound when closing the door..cheaper glasses used in windshield and windows of the car.and one thing i really i dnt knw why nissan giving single rear reverse lamp bulb wen they having a provision of two lamps right and left.pros are more than cons. but i reviewed more about cons.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
power window driverside not goes down automatically by pressing twice,and not able to oparate front co-passenger side window by driver side.it makes a problem to open co-driver side window when you drive a car lonely.and also holding handle missing for front passanger.quality of plastic used inside is great.design of dash good.document keeping box cover is missing,front jointed seats is good for keeping laptop,bags or seating childs.leg room space is normal..boot space is really best in its class.seat comfort is not upto the mark.music amplifier given is good but the two speakers are poor cant taking the full power.the computerized mileage calculator and fuel gauge is not accurate.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Engine is 1.2l petrol engine gives good pick up,my vehicle crossed 500kms 5th gear goes in 40kmph without jerk.reverse gear engages bit roughly its not a big issue for new vehiclesi got 17kmpl without a/c in first 500km as vehicle run engine gettin free after 1st service it will reach 18-19kmpl in highway. dont hesitate vehicle is giving good mileage.shifting gear 2nd to 3rd i faced engaging problem twice. now there is no such problems,engine vibrates in idling even silencer vibrates. silencer bit noisy.
Ride Quality & Handling
steering is smooth while parking the vehicle or in city drives,when vehicle speedups the steering goes heavy,but i feel rolling like sound by front wheels in sharp turns in 60kmph at ghat sections,but vehicle is in control,braking is good,suspension is not at all smooth compared to other japanese companies HONDA,SUZUKI Etc.its damping in pathholes and sounds bad and unsafe for vehicle.
handling - 10/10
ride quality - 8/10
Final Words
really excellent car in its price..
but nissan people really have to work in vehicle service sector by increasing service center in every small towns,every 70km in National highways and customer satisfacting quality of service and maintanance charges.indians require good quality product as well as good service warranty for the same product.
