Good Commuter Car

<p>I bought the I-20 Era (Petrol) in Hyderabad nearly&nbsp;5 months back. Have driven around 2000 km+. I use it for commuting to office and family car (run errands for the house, visiting nearby places etc). My observations below-</p> <p>- Very spacious car-ideal family hatch. I have test driven Swift (truly a segment below I-20)&nbsp;and Polo, the amount of space in I-20 beats all of them hands down. With the front seat fully pushed out, a 5-10 individual can seat comfortably behind.</p> <p>- Excellent road manners- Goes well over potholes, swallows small road im-perfections and speedbreakers well. However, the Ground clearance, although enough could have been better.</p> <p>- Powerful AC: Beats Hyderabad summer heat comfortably.</p> <p>- Boot space-Packs in 2 large suitcases easily. Large meaning 32 inch suitcases</p> <p>- Quality of Interiors: Fantastic. beats the competition hollow. However, the Polo has better built interiors.</p> <p>- Comfortable driving position</p> <p>-Mileage: I get 11 Kmpl (in city) with AC and 16 kmpl (on highway) with AC. Lately (Oct/Nov), without AC, i am getting 12 kmpl mileage for in-city driving. Please note mileage will depend on how aggresively you drive and the load in the car (driving single or with family), petrol used (I use Shell) etc.</p> <p>Now for the cons</p> <p>- Lack of power: In the first and second gear, outright power is&nbsp;missing, so less straightline acceleration. Pick-up has improved after first service, but i still feel that outright Pick-up is less at below 1000 rpm.</p> <p>- Suspension: Make no mistake, the power steering is great. It is just that there is no feel, you can turn the steering with a finger. I have to be very careful in highways at speeds greater than 80kms.</p> <p>- Suspension: Makes a sound over a road reflector which percolates to cabin. However, does not feel so noisy over bad roads/potholes. So, I am not sure over this con.</p> <p>Also, this is a segment over Swift, I say this considering space, car experience and ride quality. Its true competition is Polo &amp; Punto.</p> <p>All in all, would I buy this car again? Yes, if i am looking for a family car. For a driver's car-No. But then these are family cars. So highly recommended.</p>Space, Comfort, Styling, Boot space, Quality of interiorsLow end acceleration, suspension damping, no-feel steering
