Excellent Hatchback car @ a reasonable price & driven it for 38000 kms

 

Exterior The exterior is great with macho looks.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors are great which require proper fit & finish of the plastic components. The light orange illumination of the speed dials & instruments is pleasing. The audio system with 6 speaker system is awesome. The leg space in the front is very comfortable but when the front seats are pushed back, then there is very less leg room in the rear seat. A person with height 5'8" would not be comfortable with the front seats pushed back.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is superb with a fuel economy of 22km/ltr on highways & 17 ~ 18km/ltr in cities with the ac functioning.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension is very good. Road gripping at high speeds and specially at sharp curves is also excellent.

 

Final Words Sure value for money with great driving comfort & pleasure, latest features, with economy & running cost @ Rs 2/- per km.

 

Areas of improvement

1] The drivers seat height adjustment feature is a flop. The seating level changes as you get in and out of the car & you need to re adjust the seating height. ( The height adjustment lever placement is not proper. Your thigh touches the lever as you get in & out of the car, which changes the height adjustment )

2] Ground clearence is not so good for Indian Roads with majority of roads have alot of potholes or are patched up with lots of speed breakers where a fully loaded car with 4 passengers surely brushes with the speed breakers.

3] The head rest support needs redesigning as you can pull out a head rest easily but you cannot push it back easily unless you have a pin like object to press the head rest locking mechanism that would allow you to push back the head rest.

4] double reflector head lights like palio would be more comfortable for night driving.

 

Great styling with latest features.need to improve on the plastics fit and finish
