1 Month Driving Experience

I have been driving the car for past one month now, to and fro - office.

Exterior

 

Exterior is good, I like the front looks of the car, nothing to brag about nothing to dislike either.  Said that no harm in Maruthi making better looking small cars either.

Alloy wheels should have been included in their top end model.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interior are ok. One Major thing that is missing in an auto drive car is hand rest. Left hand is idle ........demands a hand rest.  You can always do some nitpicking like seats could be made more comfortable esp in top end model ( which is what I have), they are giving you single key with controls. ABS comes only in optional model which is not available at any vendor ( they push you to buy zxi normal instead ).  Also integrated audio system should have a color lcd screen rather than old days single color LEDs. 

Head rests are integrated which can be a nuisence for some people, although I dont mind them for a short drive.

Love the integraded controls on steering , Audio system has bluetooth, USB, recognizes iPod, iPhone without any issues. Lots of space to keep your gear .. purse/phone, bottles so thats a plus.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Its been hardly a month and I have been driving in city with good traffic. In these conditions its giving avg of 13 which is way less than what company claims. Gear shift is not as smooth as in a proper auto shift car, AMT is ok though does it works well. Smooth start smooth stop. It does tend to ask for power while trying to speed up quickly, pushing down the pedal a lil hard does the trick. Said that, its a laid back car... I enjoy driving it and I am in a calm/patient mood driving it ( definately good for health).

Petrol engine is really good , very silent no complaints about it.

 

 Final Words

The car is worth the money only if you are buying an AMT version, very lovely experience driving Auto Gear, its a small car so dont have to worry about parking or cutting it through small gaps.
