I started learning driving in 2018 and in May 2019 decided on buying a used car for road confidence and experience, I bought this car from a second hand car dealer, and he gave me multiple cars to test drive before this one, all other cars felt pretty normal, but this car's power and steering feedback just made me fall in love with it.
Pros:-
1. Looks :- I have been in love with this car since I drove it in a video game i.e. Need for Speed Most wanted, it's a pretty beautiful Hatchback.
2. Handling :- The Suspension setup and steering feedback on this car is something every enthusiast will love.
3. Basic Safety :- It got 2 Airbags, ABS and pretty good brakes.
4. Wide Tyres :- It got wider tyres for better grip and ride quality. This particular model had 196/60 R15 wheels.
5. Power Windows :- All 4 windows are power windows, and one touch down, and driver window is one touch Up too.
6. Powerful Engine :- It has a pretty powerful Engine for it's time (when it was released) 90bhp.
7. High Speed Stability :- Even while driving at 120kmph, I never felt any issues or instability, even my parents didn't feel like we were going that fast, the car was that much stable.
Cons :-
1. Mileage :- This engine is revv friendly so obviously doesn't return very good mileage.
2. Wide Turning Radius :- Due to wider wheels, this hatchback has a wider turning radius.
3. Low quality interior :- For it's price, the fit and finish and plastic levels of this car is pretty low quality, there are panel gaps too.
4. Low ground clearance :- I belong to Himachal and it touches ground a lot of times when going through uneven hilly roads, the ca hur is long and ground clearance is alot, so the bottom part hits alot times, it's basically a city car.
