Honda Elevate review

Honda nailed it with the pricing! Finally! This car is value for money considering other manufacturers! Buying experience: should be good Looks and performance: looks high class, looks like its global models abroad. Performance for a natural aspirated model is quite good. Mileage is good too. Pros: looks, build quality, engine, price Cons: few features like ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof is missing.

Most admirable Hatchback - Palio 1.6 GTX

<p>I have been driving Palio 1.6 GTX for few months now. I thought that I should be shearing my experience with the people.</p> <p>To start with let me say what I like in the car.<br />I simply love the way it performs on road. Handling in road is very good. I drove it at around 130 and did not find any vibrations. A.C is very chilling. Its pickup is some thing that I love to praise. I tried overtaking all passing by vehicles and believe me I never faced any problem. I have fitted half free flow exhaust in my Palio &amp; the sound it makes is too good. I just love to drive the car on highway and its simply fun to drive.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mine is a silver color car and I have place tubeless tyers. It gives my car a great look and enhanced road grip. Over all, a great performing beast &amp; a lovely companion for long drive.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So why the car did not faired good in India?<br />Service support was the major reason. It&rsquo;s now that TATA has taken over the service &amp; spare support for Fiat cars. Still you would find difficulty in getting the spares. Just to give an example, I have to change my alternator &amp; believe me I found it very hard to get one. Finally I have to get a second hand from a local Mumbai market.<br />As the car grows old, electric wiring tends to wear out. Trained technician of TATA service centers where not able to resolve the wiring issues. Again, I have to get help from some local vendor to get it rectified. Fuel is another issue. I always drive my car with A.C on and it gives me a mileage b/w 8.10 to 8.5. I am not aware of mileage it gives when it runs with A.C off.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Suggestion to the company<br />If Fiat people can ensure availability of spares and can also get the working staff of TATA service centers properly trained, this car is sure to pick up sales.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Overall<br />This is a car for people who love to drive and are passionate road lovers. Driving pleasure is too good to be ignored. You sit in driver seat start the ignition &amp; zoom... it goes like rocket. Switch on the A.C, place a good CD and keep driving.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Might give you some trouble if it&rsquo;s a second hand car, but still they are manageable. But please do not buy this car if you are average conscious (applicable only to 1.6 GTX).</p>Great performance, Excellent pickup, good A.C, Great driving thrillPoor fuel economy, service support
