    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

     What a fantastic flowing design, a bit feminine, slow and elegant design, not a wide body hence can squeeze in traffic easily between 2 vehicles 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     long car, enough leg space for a 6.1 ft guy like me, quality of plastic is definitely good, contrast is good, no Aux in old models is bad, dashboard could be a bit more brighter and wider

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     for a heavy car of 1200 kgs 1.3 l engine is a bit low, but makes it up with 90 NM, fuel econom- i have got 18-19 km/l on pune expressway and in city 14 km/l, gear is smooth, joy stick can be re done

    Ride Quality & Handling

     diesel engine needs to be driven on 1st gear to get it going, handling is smooth especially on traffic conditions, high turning radius is a set back- always need to reverse to get into mall parking which is winding and also on narrow intersections.

    Final Words

     A car which can last comfortably for 1.5 lakh kms, classy, evergreen design, build quality and weight, at 50k kms and 3.5 yrs no part replaced.

    Areas of improvement  

     Turning Radius is not good now, a bit more power for initial torque, low ground clearance (mine is 2012 model), Service centers must improve their customer interaction...! Balaji service sucks! Work is okay but other things are bad.
