Great City Carr

Exterior Looks great . The 17" diamond cut wheels adds to the glamour.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, though would have liked leather seats as an option and a crusie control. The in built GPS map is not as good as google maps. The seats are comfortable with good lumbar support. The boot space is adequate and the ride quality is comfortable. Rear pasengers also have enough leg space despite me being a tall person (over 6 feet) and pushing the drivers seat back.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is a good city car . we just got back from a drive from Chennai to Valpari ( hill station - 5500 feet ) with a part of the drive being thru ghat roads and 40 hair pin bends. The engine needs to be nursed up and the pulling power decrease substancially when on 4th gear . We did the climb mostly on second gear despite being only three passengers and limited luggage. the engine maintains a constant temperature.

Ride Quality & Handling Over non tarred raods the ride is comfortable.  Drove in short spells at over 120 and the handling was adequate, though would have preferred a more powerful break. The car handles well in general and did not feel any discomfort when driving up and down thru the hair pin bends. the clutch needs to be fully depressed to engage the gear. The car pulls well on 2/3 rd gear but the pwer decreases substancially on 4th . Perhaps this is a set up use for city driving . Liked the feature where the displays dispalys the gear to be engaged when accelerating.

Final Words Great city car with limited off road features. Looks rugged so add the the 'macho"  element.

Areas of improvement Leather seats and a more powerful break.

Good looks, comfortable city drive, great featuresNo Cruise Control, Engine powe
