Good practical car

Exterior

 It looks boxy but the style grows on you and quite appreciate the looks of this car. Good quality materials. The new 2013 model looks much better and gives bit mature look than 2008-09 models.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good plastic quality, Seats are nice but the material doesn't seem premium even on top line Vxi-ABS. I am using seat cover to protect the seats anyways. Good storage spaces. Front seat comfort is goo but back seat space is amazing. amount of leg room needs to be experience. It is more than swift for sure. 2400mm wheel base makes sure on this comfort factor.

Music system though average do the daily job. AC chills nicely.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 This is one the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT with the car. I am a new driver so didn't go for test drive as was scared might damage the test car, so bought it plainly as few friends had given good review with lazy pick up. It is a gem of a car but driven in summers in city traffic of delhi was horrible and was sweating all along. As if i switch on the AC car pick up is dead and moves very lazily. so have to switch it on when it is moving comfortably or at stops and turn it off as soon as i have to start moving again. Believe me it is quite a pain.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is OK, i don't expect a COROLLA when i pay 1/4th the price. So, it takes pot holes and bad roads positively, some of it filters through to you inside but largely ok.

Final Words

 As i said it is a GEM of a car wihich is veryyy difficult to drive on a hot sunny day with traffic around. If you are looking for budget buy, please go ahead the pros outweigh the cons by a margin. You would love the feel of steering and driving this car.

Areas of improvement  

 ONLY PICK UP with AC ON, LUGGAGE SPACE(if possible in next editions)

 

Mileage, easy handling, ample space at rearLess luggage space(but that we know already, PATHETIC PICK UP
