    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior The exteriors were fine till they started falling apart. The rubbers , steel strips and the plastic holders supporting the lights just started falling off and peeling off (bad glue job). One of the wipers also just came off one day and was hanging to its support. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks good at first till they stop working properly. Eg- The hand rest is creaking and the light switches are loose. The music system provided by the company is the worst ive come across. Even my phillips music sys I had bought in 1987 sounds a 100 times better. 

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Bad pick up. The car drags while trying to accelerate.   Fuel economy is less than 9kpl though it first showed 14kpl when I bought it. Ive done 12k kms since then and the economy is getting progressively worse. Ive heard it will be touching 6kpl soon.

    Ride Quality & Handling Very average. My Santro was much better.

    Final Words Do not buy. An absolute waste of money. Go for any Hyundai car. They are much better and suited for Indian standards.

    Areas of improvement Exteriors, interiors & engine performance.
