    Its been over an year owning this car. i bought this car in august 2016. i am writing all the pros and cons that i have faced over an year.

    Exterior The exterior of this car is very promising with cool curves and very dynamic design makes is predominant then the cars of this segment. the ground clearance  is quite high and resembles a good muscular stance. low nose and curves bumpers also give it a nice aerodynamic advantages over kwid. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Inerior is quite standard like the cars of this segments but the color of my steering wheel has started comming off. the plastic is very light and vibrates a lot with jerks.specially the glove box side. the space is quite decent  also the music system panel needs more work in terms of quality of aux jack and buttons that does no illuminate at night. 

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good as you can not expect more from 800 cc engine. the engine is very noisy at the first start and the RPM of engine gets high automatically and then comes down gradually. it has not that good low end torque and the 1st gear is very jerky. with an electric accelerator the acceleration is not that smooth and power feels low on gradients. 

    fuel economy of the car is very impressive it goes to 22 kmpl on highways even with AC on and the cooling is very effective. Gear box is smooth and shifting is very easy.

    Ride Quality & Handling you can feel each and every pebble on the road when it strikes the cars mudguard specially rear side. sound proofing of the interior is very necessary. the suspensions are nice and responsive. but absence of front roll bar can be felt while driving. the steering is smooth as wine the electric steering is very stable at high speed and handing is awesome.

    Final Words Although its a good budget car in this segment but company can improve in terms of quality.

    cons.

    The door handles are low grade plastics and will come off easily.

    there has been a lot of problem with the lock system of the boot with my car specially.

    The locks are fitted with plastic holders that too low quality.

    Although its a nice city car and i cannot complain a lot in terms of materials with this price tag. its been really good having this car but the company has more to improve even if it costs increasing the price of the car.

    Good fuel economy , good body design, good electric steering.Negligible sound proofing, very low quality plastics for steering wheel.
