A value for money

I owned this car (new) for 5 years and I really liked it. I sold it only since I had to go abroad. Has driven 68000Kms in this car.` Just after purchasing I went for a long drive (it covered 1500kms) in 3 to 4 days and it was nice dirving it.

Exterior It has a very good looks. Would suggest don't add anything exterior to it like rear spoiler or other gadgets as it looks good as it is.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors are good but would say the quality of plastics used, could have been better. Has good leg room. It becomes a bit cramped at the back for 3 people. The quality of the seat is extermely good and you like the overall looks.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is quite powerfull for the 1.3 range. Has got good pickup and the gearbox is smooth. I driver quite nice (with proper gear shift, don't use clutches during idling etc) and it used to give me around 13 to 14 in city. Believe me. I used qood quality pertrol. and on highways it gave me around 17-18.

Ride Quality & Handling It is a divers car.  Two things I liked most  is ground clearance and turning radiu and the one I hated the most is its poor shock absorber. It gives that 'THUD' noise while jumping over the gutters.

Final Words At 5K range, I would say this is one of the best car and real value for money.

Areas of improvement Shock absorber!
